Re: Tongue issue?
Having had the frog looked at by some experienced keepers of amphibians at my local reptile and amphibian pet shop. They have told me that it definitely doesn't look like an infection - no sign of any sort or residue or smell coming from the tongue doesn't look "swollen" just sticks out more than normal...in answer to the enclosure size - I have a faunarium which has a surface area recommended by Carlos above rectangle instead of square but same surface area roughly which was filled with cocoa substrate and he just didn't seem to eat in there so I moved him back to a smaller tub. Will slightly increase the temperature, reduce the humidity and also get my hands on some nightcrawlers. His stale diet is dubia roaches dusted every other feeding with calc d3 and every third dusting I while use nutrbol vitamin supplement instead. Only introduced pinks recently to give him a bit more fat and calcium due to being worried about the tongue issue. For Lija - I feed dubias whenever he's hungry really so every couple of days at the most I don't leave them in with him longer than a night so if he hasn't eaten by the morning which isn't usually the case I know he probably isn't hungry and like I said the pinks have only been a couple recently due to being worried. Unfortunately I can't take away the heat source as the room temperature wouldn't be high enough where I live to keep him happy. I change the substrate regularly every time I see that he defecates I change the substrate as its only paper towels at the moment. I can get him back in the large enclosure with the cocoa substrate if you think that would help at all. Ill go and take some pictures like you requested and post up shortly.
Thanks for all of the helpful responses guys. Great welcoming to the forum to get so much support and concern for the frog that matches my own.
