My new pyxie or pixie lol

[Dabrute]

Find a good vet familiar with amphibians and bring a couple stool samples.

so this does look like an African bullfrog? And how much would that run to give sample? I'm fine with the frog.

It depends on the depends on the vet but generally it's around 30 bucks a lab, ask around though because there's a Dr. Frye whom you can send labs to him for a flat fee. Ask around on the forum everyone here knows and may have used him on the past. Not to worry you, but that frog is emaciated, he should be somewhat more rotund and certainly no skeletal formations should be readily observable I.e. his back bone and hind legs. Always quarantine and treat new specimens, I learned this the hard way and lost all of my 8 dart frogs. Good luck

No don't force feed yet. You should buy some Fluker's Repta Boost just incase. Have you tried feeding him Night Crawlers yet?

all this frog talk lol i got him fat...but what the difference? so they lied huh? I'm sure it will still get big right?

[habeeb]

[habeeb]
