i need froggy advice :c

Hello and welcome to FF! Cloudy eye could be caused by bacteria due to eye injury. Does frog behavior shows it has issues seeing from that eye? Recommend get some Melafix (natural mild aquarium antibiotic) and mix a gallon with dechlorinated water according to label instructions. Then use that solution on frogs water bath and replace it daily for one week. Melafix solution should be stored in the dark until gone. Most Rana's do best with a 1/4 to 1/3 land section and the rest water. This care article is for another Rana; but the info also applies to yours: Frog Forum - Leopard Frog Care - Rana pipiens (Schreber, 1782) and R. sphenocephala (1886) . Good luck and thanks for helping the frog !

Thank you very much for sharing i'm curious to know if you have any other froggy remedies?

Whenever she sees something move she scratches her eyes. I really hope there isn't a bug living in there.....

My rescue mission is fast becoming a science experiment. I bought Melafix and successfully force fed the frog one small meal worm since it's been a week and I don't believe she has eaten not for lack of food. More than anything now I am curious to know if I can keep a wild caught frog alive in captivity but this stems from the same feeling as the rescue itself, I don't want to see it die.

Hopefully that meal worm reminds her that she needs food to live because I've offered her everything the pet store has for froggys besides fishes.

How long can that one meal worm sustain her I wonder? I don't want to force feed her ever again.
I suppose if they go into hibernation she could probably go a while without eating...

After learning how to force fed her and then doing it, I read about the damage it could do. I also read that if she is still losing her tail she won't be ready to eat bugs.

The frog hasn't eaten since I found it a week ago I was wondering if possibly hasn't started eating bugs yet? This came to mind because I read something about froglets sustaining themselves with their tails. I will include a picture I was viewing online, the developmental stages of the green frog. Where it's legs meet it's bottom the frog still looks a little pointy (like the frog in the blue cup) and there's a little nub so I thought maybe it is young.
