    Would not stop getting a frog (or fish) I like because of it being a hybrid. IMO, it appears Fantasies are overall healthier than some of the new "albino" morphs that suffer from constipation and other problems. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    The constipation issue is caused by a imbalance within the digestive tract not due to a genetic anomaly.

    You can try dusting with a crictical care formula like Repta Boost if you don't want to risk stress by offering the liquid form orally. It should correct any imbalance in the digestive tract.

    just to clarify - when we talk about fantasy frogs we talk about cranwelli and cornuta cross.
    ornata x cranwelli cross is called orwell and almost never produced, they look nothing like fantasy frogs and rarely make it to adulthood.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    My fantasy, Nurgle, is perhaps the most active of my Pacmans. He actually crawls and leaps after crickets ( even going as far as leaping and snatching falling crickets before they hit the ground). But, he's the most hesitant to feed from tongs.As for his coloration he's forest green, with a lime green "W" across his back. Then he's peppered with black and red splotches. The only deformity is that he has extra fingers on his front feet.
