    Exclamation PCF has worms?

    Unfortunately, I think my Pacific Chorus frog has worms. I only very recently took him in, in the last thread in this section of the Forum, actually, but he's not been active, I've yet to see him eat although he looks well fed but not bloated, and has dry skin. All he does is sit and hide all day, and it's beginning to worry me. My friend's Pacific Chorus frog, Levi, is very active, but I've yet to see Chrome out and about. I'm thinking this was brought on by stress from moving into the new tank, but we'll see. Here's a Trouble In the Enclosure:

    1. Size of enclosure - 5 Gallon, though I am saving up for a 20 Gallon high.
    2. # of inhabitants - specifically other frogs and size differences - 1 frog, Chrome
    3. Humidity - I mist the tank 3 times on a daily basis.
    4. Temperature - Room temperature, though the nights have been a bit cold.
    5. Water - type - for both misting and soaking dish - Conditioned (de-chloramined and de-chlorinated) tap water
    6. Materials used for substrate - Cocoa fiber
    7. Enclosure set up i.e. plants (live or artificial), wood, bark and other materials.
    - How were things prepared prior to being put into the viv. -
    8. Main food source - Crickets
    9. Vitamins and calcium? (how often) - Not yet, though weekly
    10. Lighting - Day/night schedule
    11. What is being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure
    12. When is the last time he/she ate - Unknown
    13. Have you found poop lately - No
    14. A pic would be helpful including frog and enclosure (any including cell phone pic is fine)
    15. How old is the frog - Unknown, adult
    16. How long have you owned him/her - 3 days
    17. Is the frog wild caught or captive bred - Wild Caught
    18. Frog food- how often and if it is diverse, what other feeders are used as treats - Just crickets
    19. How often the frog is handled - Daily, perhaps less
    20. Is the enclosure kept in a high or low traffic area - Low
    21. Describe enclosure maintenance (water changes, cleaning, etc) Daily water changes

    I'll get some pictures later on, I'm a bit rushed right now.

    I currently have little money since I had to spend it all on the tank in a rush.

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

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

    Note: Oh, and there are fake plants in Chrome's setup to hide by.

    Also, if I disturb him, he will walk around his tank for about 30 minutes before settling down again. He also croaked the first night I had him. I am unsure whether he's croaked since, since I have not heard him and have not been staying up for extended periods of time.

    Nevermind, it seems Chrome is only settling into his environment. Please disregard this thread entirely.
