Feeding a malnourished Firebelly toad?

[Gnag the nameless]

Sorry for the lack of replies.

Always remember to feed your frogs. If you can't get crickets, go out in the garden and get some earthworms. Those work well, too, and highly nutritious.

Don't feel bad about it, many of us have made this mistake. Just don't make the mistake again, is all.

I don't think any of us will scold you for it. Everyone will be trying to help the frog.

I'm thinking the brown muck is actually shedding skin. Does the frog have a water source in the quarantine tank? Fully/Semi Aquatic frogs often shed in the water, which makes the process easier and also less visible. However, I may be wrong about the brown muck. Hopefully, an expert will see this thread. I can go alert some of the more experienced people on the forum if you want.

If the frog is still moving and hopping, that is a good sign. Try to give it crickets, maybe let the crickets run around for a bit. If the frog tries to get them, but is too weak, use those tweezers and tong-feed the frog [hold a cricket using the tweezers, make so it looks like the cricket is alive, keep on doing this in front of the frog and the frog may eat it.] Also, I'm not sure if force-feeding is viable with FBT's, but if it is, here's a how-to video. Don't force-feed unless absolutely necessary.

I'll begin researching now as well. Maybe I'll find something.
