    You may have to see a Vet. There is a medication that must be given orally and it jump starts the intestinal tract to assist in normal function. It can help with impactions. The medication is called Cisapride.

    You can force feed the frog liquid food like Repta Boost. This will help keep any further waste from bring deposited behind the blockage since nearly all the formula is directly absorbed. The Vet can also administer a small amount of Mineral oil orally. This will also help pass the blockage.

    This may be your best bet if the frog is impacted.
    Kk thanks. Ill give some vets a call, and get one lined up. Do impacted feogs still try and poop on thier own?

    Ive had my tomato frog "Bob" in a 10 gallon aquarium with cocoanut bedding and exo terra terrarium moss, this was a bad idea. Bob became impacted and i had given him many warm baths for at least 10 minutes a day, after the fourth day he pooped the largest turd ive ever seen! i never buy that type of moss for larger ambush frogs anymore. now i use wild sphagnum that comes in large sheets that he cannot swallow.
