    Lisa ,
    I'm glad to hear the soak you did ....helped. You did a great job !
    If this were my frog I would do pedi soaks tonight.
    If you should due a honey soak....be sure to rinse your frog.
    As mentioned, food needs to be held from the frog that has had the prolapse until you witness a normal poop w/out any further struggle or protrusion of any intestine tissue.

    Update: Well guys, Wall-E is soaking in his Pedialyte Jacuzzi and Eva is eating her dinner (separated). Wall-E seemed himself, redness around vent is more of a pink now as well. He is actually more active than I think I've ever seen him. Im so THANKFUL for everyone on here. Lynn you are a true savior... Brian thanks for the links! The link to your situation made me feel alot less guilty... I've been trying so hard to make sure I didn't do anything to harm or not do anything to harm my lil guys, so realizing it was the cricket size kills me. I really hope he can continue to recover. I will keep everyone posted on his progress. But again, without this forum, without these responses, my poor lil Wall-E may not have had today. Thanks again.

    Glad to help. Try not to be too hard on yourself. We seek out as much info as we can and do the best we can with it, mistakes can and will happen despite our best intentions. Best you can do is learn from it and move on. As mentioned parasites are also a possible cause of a prolapse, as is hypocalcemia, and you might consider a vet check to rule these out.

    Hope the recovery goes well.
