    Too wet and too cool equals disaster. They can get Red Leg from dirty conditions and stress from improper climate can cause it to infect the frog.

    He needs the temps that Dan has stated above. Warm him up and keep the humidity up keep him at a constant 80°.

    Substrate should be moist or heavily damp not mud. Humidity 70% to 80%.

    Go out and buy some Fluker's Repta Boost and force feed him appropriate dose everyday with other foods. Use Night Crawlers to force feed him they are highly nutritious and the Repta Boost will help with dehydration and malnutrition.

    Also go out and buy some Unflavored Pedialyte. Prepare a bath of Dechlorinated water and Pedialyte at a 1 to 10 ratio so for every 10 ounces of luke warm dechlorinated water add 1 ounce Unflavored Pedialyte. Soak him for 20 minutes then return him to the hospital tank. Bath should be no deeper than up to his chin.

    You will need to force feed him daily. I cannot say for sure that he will pull through, but this may be the best chance you have until he can see a Vet.

    Make sure to change the moist paper towels in his hospital setup everyday to prevent bacterial and fungal growth. Water needs to be changed daily as well.
