    yes picture would help, however cloudy eye in a baby could mean one thing ( 99% probability) - infection, the next thing would be is to figure out why it has happen, so please post your answers to "the trouble in the enclosure" here.
    for eye infection that is what you need to do:
    - place a frog in a hospital set up - wet paper towels covering all 4 sides of the enclosure and a bottom.
    -make sure that temps are still staying in a correct range, but humidity a bit lower then usual.
    - get melafix ( sold in fish section), prepare the solution according to the instructions on bottle, use it for everything, pepertowels, soak a frog in that too, 2 times a day (warm water up to a frog chin). While melafix works very well for mild eye infections, often it is not enough, so i would use it for a few days and see what is happening, if you see infection is progressing or not getting better in 2-3 days, plan on seeing vet asap. I'd schedule an appointment for Monday, you can cancel it if a frog is all better by then.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    A picture would be very helpful. Is the eye bulging or protruding at all? Or is it just cloudy? Please answer these questions http://www.frogforum.net/pacman-frog...enclosure.html and post the answers back here.

    It is most likely a bacterial infection. It is possible he already had it when you got him. Stress also makes them more likely to develop infections. Follow what Lija said. Keep everything super clean and avoid any cross-contamination with your other frogs. Be careful with the Melafix; it is very strong. Recommended instructions are 1 teaspoon per 10 GALLONS. So you should only need 1 drop highly diluted for each soak (depending on what size dish you are using). If nothing else, this should help keep the infection from progressing further until you can get to a vet. Were you able to find one with experience treating frogs?

    The fact that he is still eating is very, very good. You will have to keep any eye on him. But most minor infections - when caught early - can be cured with relative ease. Please keep us posted.
