I noticed last night when taking my frogs out to feed there was three not runny but very soft wet and slimy poos as opposed to how they normally look.
The day previous to this I had fed them both fruitflies for the first time however now I'm overly paranoid they are not ok so looking for a little clarity.
1, Is it probably due to the fact I fed them the flies there poo went like this? I'm quite sure it is
2, should I never feed them fruit flies again?
3, my initial plan is to stick only to crickets for a few days and see if it firms up, is there anything else people can recommend?
they have both ate since and seem as we'll as normal
Hello,
To my knowledge, runny poo is NOT normal. My baby white's had (and still has) runny poo, I have been treating her for hook and pin worms for over a month. And a protozoan (bacterial) infection for 14 days in Feb and March.
I would highly recommend you get a stool sample to a vet for testing.
1. I have never fed my white's fruit flies, so not sure if it would affect their poo.... but, I have a feeling it would still be firm, if the frog(s) are healthy.
2. I don't know? I'm surprised they ate them, your frogs must be quite small? I would gander to think it would be okay.
3. small crickets are all I feed my white's. Don't forget to dust with a calcium powder with D3 at least twice per week, and a multi vitamin for amphibians once per week.
And just for comparison sake, my white's acts and always has acted completely normal, with no affect to her appetite due to the infection.

Try feeding them crickets again and see if its forms up. In general though, their poop should remain normal. Could be a coincidence. It's never a bad idea to have his stool tested though. Especially if the poop stays runny. Give him a day on crickets and see what happens. If the stool does stay runny, collect a clean sample and have it tested soon. Infections are easier to treat the sooner they are caught. I think I would send one anyway to be safe. Lay down some paper towels near his feeding area to hopefully collect a clean sample.
Keep us posted.
