Feeding a malnourished Firebelly toad?

[sjham16]

Thank you so much!

I have crickets. I put my froggy in a quarantined with water and things and dropped a few crickets in there. Everytime a cricket touches the frog, it cringes and hops off. The frog is also sitting in a corner for while....
I would love it if you could contact some experts!
Thank you so much for your help!

When I joined this forum, it was because I had a similar problem with my frogs. And the people here helped me right away. Ever since, I've been trying to live up to their example. Also, I like helping other frog owners

How big are the crickets in comparison to the space between the frogs eyes? If they are bigger than the space between the frogs eyes, the frog won't eat them. Could you post some pictures of the frog? That would really help.

I'll go get Grif, Heather, and some of the other experts.

Not a problem. Helping other frog owners is one of the things we do here at the Frog Forum.

We need to see detailed pictures of the "muck". This sounds like some kind of infections, but to be sure we need to get a good look at the frog.

Not feeding the frog would not cause this. I'll post the link to some questions for you to answer. You will need to repost the answers here in your thread. http://www.frogforum.net/pacman-frog...enclosure.html

i see you have the best of the best in here helping you. i only want to add one thing. about the frog being over sensitive. if you were accidentally touched by something as large and metal (in comparison to the frog) you would be a bit hesitant to move as well, so i wouldn't add that as a "symptom".

best thing you can do for your frog right now is answer the questions on the form that Grif posted the link to, add some pics so we can see what we're dealing with and we can go from there.

I would also try and remember that crickets are very opportunistic and may try to eat on the frog, so I would not just be leaving them in there. If you could get ahold of some waxworms those seem to offer some good quick energy. Mine had a better appetite for the crickets once they had been tong fed a worm each (pet store frogs that were thin to begin with.)

I don't know much about Fire Belly's but I think a picture will help us see what you are talking about. I wonder if the brown muck is a bad shed and it's preventing him to open his mouth to eat that's why he's afraid of the crickets? Like someone else said, don't leave the crickets in the tank with him they will possibly bite him.

You're frog needs a vet. It looks like there is some kind of infection on his head.

I put crickets in my tank and they all hide in leaves.
