    Ah I'm trackin on the honeybaths. Mine is a baby baby from petsmart. I tried the baths over the weekend and they ended up over stressing my frog. Right now I have a small water dish in her enclosure with a drop of honey in it. I gently place her in it twice a day. She stays in it, tries to poop and then after a while hops out and buries herself. I have ceased her food intake also.

    causes - just about anything, whatever is consumed and not digested can be a cause of impaction, the less moisture content having foods have the more chances. and all non food items with moss being nr1. even if a frog been fed outside of the enclosure moss can get ingested when a frog is shedding.
    treatment - home remedies, such as warm baths with honey or electrolytes, but mostly warm water that do a trick. there're specific vet treatment that you can go for if baths are not helping, and surgery as a past resort in worst cases.

    helpful advise - get all the patience you can get so just do baths and very gently(!) massage his sides and please keep us updated.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
