    There's really no reason to weigh the frog. They retain so much water that you probably wouldn't be able to tell if the frog was actually gaining weight or not. Being taken out and weighed every day is probably stressing it out and causing it not to eat; don't do that more than once a week (it's not necessary at all, but once a week shouldn't be stressful enough to do damage).

    Fish are okay as treats, but only frozen ones. Silversides can be bought in packs from most Petsmart/Petco. But live ones are big parasite risks, and many species contain a chemical called thiaminase that is harmful for reptiles/amphibians.

    As you can see I have 2 sides covered with paper, the third is covered with a heatpad. I've been taking him out to eat, so while he was in the feeding container i would weigh him, but i'll start trying to feed him in his cage. And like I said, I checked both of his sides for hard lumps and he's jut squishy so I don't think he's impacted.

    I really appreciate everybody's help!

    Mallowolf, I'm sorry if my eyes are seeing something wrong, but do you have the digital reading part of your thermometer inside your tank? If you do, please remove it and attach it to the outside, electronics and humidity don't mix well, and while the probe can stand the humidity, the digital part of the thermometer could malfunction or short circuit when coming into contact with water/humidity. If it's attached to the back, please ignore my comment, it's just really hard to see in the picture.

    Edit: I checked the pictures closely and it seems to be inside the tank, I'm not familiar with the brand so I'm not sure how waterproof it is, but you'd really be off better attaching it to the outside.
