Henry Won't Eat/Poop

[Locascio]

You need to first set up a worm honey bath do this once aday until he poops you've got to rinse him off after each bath. Make shore the water is treated the lump you feel is poop. You've also got to stop feeding mice and rat pups thay are not good feeders for frogs. You shouldn't be leaving crickits in the cage eather. Thay will and do stress out frogs you need to do the 15 minute rule feed 2x a week for 15 minutes as much as he can eat. You've got an adult frog and feeding should be cut back. Pics of the frog will help me to help you do this asap and get back to me

Thanks, I will try that...are we talking actually putting him in tub of honey? How warm? How submerged should he be? And on the 15min. feeding rule...do I get a new tank with crickets and critters and just set him in it for 15mins. twice a week? I posted some pics on my profile...I just became a member so will have to figure it out...is there a better way to share pics?

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.

[Locascio]

Do as grif sed.

[Jonesy0kny]

Oh Shoot! well, last night and today he got a bath with JUST honey! whoops! Hope I didn't kill him...I guess he knows what Opium feels like now!

Did you at least rinse him off????

[Jonesy0kny]

absolutely!

[Locascio]

what the **** you put your frog in HONEY wtf wear you thinking! did you not read anything we wrote? you need to rince him off asap and put him in a worm bath WITHOUT HUNEY... gezz why would you think that was even a good idea use common sence

[Locascio]

im sorry if i come off like an *******, but that was some dumb **** and i call it how i see it. grif will help you you need to do EVERY THING he says to the T. :good luck with this one grif:

[GrifTheGreat]

Vince you need to calm down!

The problem is due to a misunderstanding. You did not explain how to prepare the bath therfore anyone who has not heard of this bathing method could easily misinterpret it as being bathed in just honey.

You must give details into how to prepare such treatments so that they are administered properly.

Keep your cool.

Let's talk about some dumb **** as I call it how I see it:

"worm honey bath" "Make shore the water is treated" "Thay will and do stress out frogs"
worm

/wərm/

noun
1.Zoology . any of numerous long, slender, soft-bodied, legless, bilaterally symmetrical invertebrates,including the flatworms, roundworms, acanthocephalans, nemerteans, gordiaceans, and annelids.

2.


(loosely) any of numerous small creeping animals with more or less slender, elongated bodies, andwithout limbs or with very short ones, including individuals of widely differing kinds, as earthworms,

tapeworms

, insect larvae, and adult forms of some insects.

...good thing I have common sense because if I went by your dumb **** spelling and sentence structure, Henry would have been bathing in a tub mixed with WORMS and HONEY. I'm on here because, unlike the majority of amphibian and exotic pet owners I care for this animal's well being...he's not just a decoration to me. I hope, Vince, that in future comments on future forums you can remember that people posting these have come this far because they honestly want to care for their pet...I won't blame you for your lack of education in English grammar and sentence structure if you won't blame me for the ignorance I'm trying to deplete in owning Pacman Frogs.

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?

[Sunshine]

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...

[GrifTheGreat]

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.

[DVirginiana]

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

press "go advanced" button at the bottom of a thread, there is an option for attachments.
the only way to go from there is to answer "trouble in the enclosure" questions as Grif asked for.

meanwhile - NO river rocks, NO any type of rocks, NO mice, NO leaving crickets in a tank, NO feeding for now until we figured out what is happening, if he is in fact impacted by feeding you will get matters worse. bath like Grif advised would be excellent, by chin level he meant frogs chin, just in case it is in question lol
bath itself might help, but might not have immediate effect, you need to fix reasons of impaction as well.

thanks!
...and for the record he wasn't swimming in a sea of honey...I was mostly pouring it over him...I feel pretty stupid now though anyway. Kings have only dreamed of bathing in honey 'til King Henry III.

Also...in my original comment...I said high water...I meant like 3"...high enough for him to float and swim but he, of course, had a landing. Now I'm afraid of the picture I'm painting...
