    Sounds like the symptoms of calcium deficiency. Possibly something else though. Did he get all stiff and go into spasms as you describe and then seem to recover completely after a little while?

    Yes, sounds like it is probably a case of calcium deficiency then. A calcium deficient frog will go into spasms like that and then seem to be fine. While these spasms can occur at random they most often occur when the frog is excited or stressed like when you cleaned his tank. Unless some changes are made in diet or supplementation he probably will die on you before to long. What does his diet currently consist of and are you using any supplements?
