    Thumbs up Good News!

    Hello everyone!

    I left 4 crickets in his enclosure and two of them were gone! I think he ate them.
    He also seems to be prowling around for more.

    The white spot on his head seemed to get smaller! The 'muck' also seemed to fade away a little.

    Thank you for giving me ways to clean the tank!

    I'll try to give an update everyday.

    That's good to hear, please change his water often and feed him. I'd still watch him for white spot(s) coming back, his weight and appetite, and brown muck. Hope everything turns out okay.

    Very glad to hear he's getting better

    Heather, Patsy, and Hoppity100 have been giving you excellent advice. If you want your frog to live, you must do as they say, such as answering questions, no matter how embarrassing or grim the truth may be, working hard, and if need be, spending every last penny on saving the frog.

    This is no time to be upset, or feel guilty. This is the time for action. Hope is there, and it is getting stronger. Now, lets make your parents proud, and save that little guy, with, or without their help!

    2.2.0 Bombina Orientalis ( Rosa, Sasha, Aleksis, and Dimitri )

    Rest in Peace, Gnag the Nameless, Chrome, and Thermidor

    Default Feeding a malnourished Firebelly toad?

    You're welcome.

    Do you have a local vet that treats amphibians?

    I would email Dr.Frye, even if just for an opinion.

    Try the reptaboost if you can.

    That is completely unnessecary, keep comments like that to yourself.

    They came here because they felt bad and need help, not to be scolded, saying things like that don't help anyone.

    We're all here to learn, everyone makes mistakes, sadly this mistake ended worse then some others.
