Loose stools?

[NialR35]

Okay I found poop outside of the water bowl. It looked like a balloon with some mucus in it and it was like a green/gray army color. Now it makes sense why it dissolves most of the time. Sometimes I find chunks and sometimes the water is just soiled.

It did not have a strong odor or stench but I know a fecal is recommended but what couldve caused this? Could it be my pyxie came with a condition from LLL reptiles? I've had him for 6 weeks and never once did I find a solid poop like my ornate's. He's been getting the same top notch care as my ornate and I always sanitize everything to prevent bacteria, stench, fungi and so on. So considering how my pyxie never had a solid poop.....I meant at all since I got him...what are your thoughts and how can I fix this?

Any thoughts on my last update? Also what are repta-boost and pedialyte baths exactly for?

To medicate for intestinal problems without a fecal analysis could make things worse if you treat against the wrong pathogen. Also, don't even know yet if frog is sick to blame condition on seller. They could have sent you a visually healthy and thriving frog and the trip stress give the upper hand to an opportunistic bug.

Repta Boost is a powdered nutrient for non-eating or very malnourished reptiles/amphibians. A Pedialyte (or similar baby unflavored electrolyte formula) bath is mixed at 1:10 ratio with 80F dechlorinated for 20 minutes or until cool; and it's objective is to hydrate, energize and provide a short term boost to help frog perk up and eat by itself. Good luck with fecal !

Okay but what do you think about the poop I found lately? Looked like a balloon coated with mucus, dark green/grey but nothing red or pink. Eating has slowed down a bit on and off lately and my frog has been in the water the past two days after a while of not using it.

completely normal. nothing is wrong with your frog.

Agreed! Your panic is probably causing the frog stress. They can pick up on your emotions.

This is a pic I took yesterday of a stool I found outside the water bowl. It's just that stools like these as compared to the solid ones from my Ornate that eats the same things, then the fact that his eating aggressiveness slowed down along with his appetite for a couple of days made me worried. I'm just going to feed it a pinkie like a friend suggested to make sure the poop comes out solid.

Well Grif, you were the first person to recommend me a fecal
