    Yes, but which kind of issue...?
    If she was impacted, she would be apathic and with no appetite...But she has still a greta appetite and she is not particularly apathic (Looks great).

    I don't know what to do ?
    Vet ? Waiting again ?
    Are there some people with a GABF with very low frequency of poops ?

    It could be as simple as you're just not finding or seeing them. It can easily be blended into the substrate.

    She is the water since 2 weeks, and all she ate since 2 weeks, she didn't poop yet...
    Even in warm water...

    It has been in the water for 3 weeks straight, without leaving?

    For 2 weeks.
    She burries a lot.
    When I exit her from substrate after a long burried period, I put her in water and she stays between 1 to 3 weeks in water, waiting for food and hidden below a fake plant which covers teh water bowl.
    Then, after this water period, she goes on substrate and burries for some weeks...etc..
    She's fearful and she is unable to stay above the substrate, quiet, as a lot of GABF.

    Could it be a problem ?

    PS : I don't understand also why she seems so fearful and why she can't stay quiet on the substrate below its hidding bark wood...

    Any fecal exams done by veterinary lately? If yes and clear... maybe, like some humans, she suffers from constipation. That would also explain her "cranky" behaviour .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Most of what you described is typical adult GABF behavior. What is not normal is extended amounts of time not leaving the water whatsoever.

    So everyone can see, would you mind posting a "trouble in the enclosure" located at the top of the forum as a sticky?

    Have you inspected for mites?

    Have you felt the sides of the stomach for any lumps (impaction) ? Frogs will generally soak for much longer periods of time, when something is not right. (besides aquatic/semi aquatic species)

    Have you inspected the frog in general for any abnormalities?
