could this be a problem?

That is settled then.

That's the right attitude Colleen/Jerrod ! BTW (and according to my INTEL sources ), when it comes to amphibian veterinary subjets... it's challenging to prove Lija wrong .

Dr. Matt: How is frog? Did you had fecal analysis done? What were results? Thank you !

Hey! I can try! Lol!

[Lija]

oh that sweet feeling of being right lol and i appreciate you guys trying because that is how we are finding things out and proving them as well, rather then just go with "I've heard" or "I think". With so many different opinions and grey areas in amphibian care and medicine we gotta find things proven rather then based on opinions no matter whose these are.
and hey you never know that is common sense for some people lol

on a subject though, Matt - how things are going, it would be very interesting to follow up on what's going on.

Dr. matt

How is your baby doing I hope better.

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.

It's good advice to never feel safe around any sort of parasite ever. I wouldn't want someones kid to get the impression that they can't catch parasites from non-humans, or that they don't need to be careful around their pets, even though that is not what you're saying here right now. Parasites are scary O_O Like us and everything else in the world, there is a possibility that they could adapt, change, grow... New species could still be discovered.

(I'm not disagreeing with Lija, but fear the parasites, please)

I found out that they were not parasites anyways! they were undigested cricket limbs. i stopped feading crickets and after a few bowel movements those things were gone. he would eat 48 crickets in a sitting.
try feeding your frog crickets and then look at the stool in a few days, let me know if any of you see the same thing.

[mattfish]

it turned out that they were just undigested cricket limbs. (: thanks for wondering!

Good to hear,

BTW when I started feeding only night crawlers to my pacman his BM was very loose and very smelly.
And I found out why, when he was feeding on crickets he was getting small amounts of coco fiber with each cricket.
so his BM was mostly coco fiber and a solid stool and had almost no odor at all.

just FYI.

[mattfish]

thanks for that! i never feed him in his tank, i put him in a seperate clean tank for all feeding. he eats, chills, then pees and goes #2, then i take him out, clean that cage, fill it with luk warm water (about an inch) and he chills in that for awhile, then i put him back in his real tank. this way i see all of his BM's. plus his cage never smells.

no need to fear i like to educate kids versus just to plain scare and the fact is you can't catch tapeworm from a frog but you can catch the whole bunch of worse things (bacteria, fungus). frog parasites can be just a walk in a park comparing on Mycobacterium marinum for example. so education is always a good thing, kids will know not to be scared but to have a knowledge and reasoning for washing their hands before and after handling amphibian of any kind, including in a wild.

Matt, i was wondering how it will turn out glad it was nothing!
