I think my frog broke her leg...

I know it's only been 2 days, but I'm super excited at how much better she is getting! She is eating 4-5 crickets A NIGHT now, all on her own and poo'ing everyday! She's much MUCH more active than she has been in the last 3 months! I have an appointment scheduled for Wednesday to make sure her leg is doing good, and hopefully she'll get a FULL clean bill of health and I can let her loose in her new 18x18x24" home. Althought, something odd that I've found is that she refuses to jump out of her hospital tank when I have the lid off... maybe she likes the hospital tank?

So Laputa went to the Vet Friday, she is bright green now!!


So yay for that!! She went about a week or so with eating 4-5 crickets a night, then the last 4-5 days, she's eating nothing, so the doctor said I need to just keep doing what I'm doing. I fed her the reptiboost last night with the B12 he gave her, so we'll see how well she does. I figured she was doing well enough I might let her out in her tank during the day and put her back in the hospital container at night so I'll know if she is eating or not. Is this a good idea to do or should I just keep her in the hospital tank? Her leg is pretty much healed, she is jumping around (away from me) and climbing perfectly fine, I'm just not sure how long I need to keep her in the hosp tank?



She really wants out... I do let her roam her new tank while I clean her hosp tank though.

Did the Dr. take more Xrays?

so is she using her leg?

Thanks for letting us know. I was beginning to wonder.

[aegillesp]

He didn't take any more x-rays. I thought he would, but he looked at her leg, she jumped onto him, she climbed, there was no bulge in her leg like there was the first few days her leg was broken. She's been jumping and climbing for a while now for me. I'd say she is ready for a bigger home, but the eating thing is still an issue.

That is good to hear about the leg.
