That could be worse. Tape worms often have shed segments of themselves that will appear in the fecal matter if they are located in the intestines. The segments can appear like grain or rice. Get a fecal exam done ASAP! Tape worms are very very bad. They can be passed to you as well, but that can occur with any parasitic worm. Whatever is in his feces it is not normal and needs to be checke out by a Vet.

What are you feeding him and I mean anything and everything?

Grif is dead on ive worked for a hurp vet and 2 of my ABF hade the same thing in there poop and it turned out to be tape worms. it is the easy to treat if chought in time use pancure to fix this issue youll need to see a vet the to get the stool checked out and then youll give pancure .1 ml for every 100 grams of frog WT.

grif, frog parasites are not contagious to human

Matt, please follow the advise and get poop tested asap for parasites and protozoa as well, while the only problem you have is runny poop and he is still eating and looking good.

Lija not all parasitic worms are animal specific and yes you can contract tapeworms and pinworms. I don't know who told you that frog parasitic worms are not the same as the worms we can contract, but they're wrong.

I agree with Grif here, most parasites that I've done research on are not picky about what animal they take on as long as it's got a compatible system to breed and roost in.

However, I think everyone else has you covered, Matt.

Good luck, and keep us updated.

All parasitic worms that can be found in frogs are not contagious to human or any other warm blooded being! and vise versa human parasitic worms are not contagious to a frog. In fact very small amount of worm species can affect people.

Grif if you think I'm wrong, please provide species of parasitic worms that can be found in both frogs and humans, nobody knows everything and if I'm wrong I would love to know it.

Dr. Matt - even if those "grains" are not worms, runny poop alone is a sign of something parasitic that is going on.
