I do not have a herp vet anywhere near me and due to my marriage recently falling apart I am beyond broke. I need to know what I can do if anything....

For those that dont know Frodo is a male Grey Tree Frog..
Hi Rae,
I'm so sorry
You need to move him into a hospital tank - asap.
Keep the accessories to an absolute bare minimum; no branches or anything that he could climb on ! Let the crickets roam the bottom of the hospital tank ?(paper towel dampened with de-chlor water) It's going to be difficult for him to hunt and lunge at them, which will do nothing for the healing process? If he has been forceps fed --do that, only .

I'm not so sure there's really anything that can be done to fix his leg, except to extremely limit the amount of moving he does (don't want him to mess it up more). He'll also probably be incredibly stressed. You'll need to cover the tank on three sides with cardboard or something. He'll feel a lot more secure.

You could email Dr Frye. He would not be able to treat your frog, but maybe there is something he could recommend?
Or..... better yet----HUNT for a herp vet!
