Henry Won't Eat/Poop

[Sunshine]

Grif is definitely the one to ask, but i will tell you what I know. (Correct me if I am wrong) Honey is a natural laxative, and the sugar in it will give them a boost of energy if they are feeling lethargic.

No. Prepare a bath of 80° dechlorinated water that is chin deep and dissolve 4 drops of honey in the bath. Soak the frog until the bath becomes cool. Then prepare a second bath th same depth and temp to rinse off the frog. Then return the frog home, but place it in it's water dish and leave it be.

Day 3 of warm baths with honey. still no poops...both sides seems very hard...but do see to be loosening a bit. Also...I feel like I should try to feed him SOMETHING...I mean, it's been like 4 or more weeks now since he's eaten. I might try the turtle food...just one pellet...unless, you don't think I should...I know someone said NO food...what do you guys think?

I wouldn't feed him until he poops. And I don't think turtle pellets would be good to feed him. These frogs can go a while without food. Good luck and keep trying. If he will let you, you can very gently massage his side to loosen up the poo a little more...

Sherry is right. Do not feed him if he is impacted it will make it worst. See if you can find and buy some Fluker's Repta Boost just incase.

Is it just me or does that frog look bloated? Or could it just be overweight?

[Sunshine]

He is overweight. He was eating too many mices

Wow first jones I hope that your frog gets better!! I am very glad that you came to the community with the problem, I have never seen anything like it and I would like to learn what to do as well.

I am new but I wouldn't worry about feeding it now not until you see that it has some room for some food. My frog has slow bowels and it takes forever for him to digest a big meal. What I do is keep him active but not really feeding when I think he should poop. I feed one worm or one roach. Normally he could easily eat five to six big worms.
I just don't want to over feed him because you do just as much harm overfeeding as you do underfeeding.

Hey guys...I just wanted to thank you all so much for all your advice. Henry passed away today a few minutes after his bath, but not for lack of trying. He was a good friend...never thought I could get so attached to something that wasn't warm blooded...but he was definitely one of my besties! Thanks again...I truly appreciate your help!
