Does anyone have pictures of....

A constipated ADF versus a "full" ADF? I have one frog who likes to try and do all of the eating...she is plump and the last time she ate was yesterday evening.

Aquatic frogs are likely to bloat if they have a disease or if water conditions are not properly maintained. There are two types of bloat: hard or soft. If the frog has "hard bloat", the skin appears too tight and is caused by a bacterial infection. Soft bloat is some times called the "Michelin-man" syndrome, where the legs look like balloons. This kind of bloat is usually caused by improper water conditions. Both kins of bloat is serious to the frog's health. Hard bloat is almost always fatal, but treatable if caught early. Frogs with soft bloat can be treated by maintaining proper habitat.

This is very good information to have. Thank you. I know that they easily get constipated as well also, which was why I was wondering what one looked like when it was. I'm not having any problems with my frogs but wanted to know what the problems look like before they happen

These are pretty tough frogs and you should not have any problems if cared for properly. One of the leading causes of bloating and constipation of ADFs is feeding them freeze-dried foods.

Thank you very much for the comforting information I appreciate your help. My frogs have never had freeze dried foods. They get mostly shrimp pellets and tuna. There are some fry in the tank with them but too little to be noticed so far.

I'd skip the tuna, lots of mercury in it. Not good for humans, rather lethal to frogs who are way more sensitive to toxic metals.
