    He's always been a super difficult and picky eater, but he actually seemed to develop a liking for earthworms recently. He never aestivated, although he has had periods of several weeks of no eating before, and constipation once right after I got him, but a water bath fixed that

    I am not sure whats wrong, but I'm going to suggest a Pedialyte bath. Go out and buybsome UNFLAVORED Pedialyte. Prepare a bath with a solution at a 1 to 10 ratio. So for every 10 ounces of dechlorinated water add 1 ounce unflavored Pedialyte. The water must be luke warm and no deeper than up to the frog's chin. Add 2 drops of honey to the solution and dissolve it.

    Once the bath is ready soak the frog for 20 minutes of until the bath begins to cool. After time is up or the water cools prepare a second bath of just dechlorinated water. Same temp and depth. Soak the frog for another 20 minutes or until the water cools.

    After this second bath place luke warm dechlorinated water in the frog's water dish and return the frog home but place him in his water dish. Then let him be.

    There is no guarantee that this will work, but it is worth a try.

    Keep me posted.
