New owner need some help - frog arm looks twisted

[Hypnotic]

I change it monthly or sooner if it looks dirty, I spot clean daily. I do however rotate the substrate on a weekly basis, depending on how much the frog moves. I have one frog that never moves, and when I say never, I mean NEVER. She doesn't even poop without my assistance, she's that lazy.
So I weekly drop her in her waterbowl and give the substrate a good turning, afterwards she just finds a new spot to camp out or usually digs out her old burrow again.

thanks for the information.

my pacman has been on this powdered food for about 3 weeks or so...after i ran out of crickets. my thought was to just test it out and see. he seems to like it and i have no issues feeding him with it.

Sorry about your frogs left arm . Guess if you noted it couple days ago it's something that happened in the cage. Maybe frog toes got caught in the sponge as it jumped and damaged it's arm accidentally. Also, it could be suffering from lack of calcium (MBD) and that contributed to it.

First thing to correct is the enclosure temperature since extended exposure to low temps will cause internal damage to kidneys and other organs. Day temp need to be 28-29C with a slight drop at night. Humidity should also be monitored and kept within 70-90% with 80% being optimal. A digital combo gauge (like ExoTerra's) is what I use. Your frog is an "albino" so you can only use ceramic heat emitters, red bulbs, or heat tape. Daylight bulbs will hurt it's eyes and skin.

Crickets should be gut loaded with carrots, lettuce, oats, and veggie fish flakes and sized same as distance between frogs eyes. They should be dusted with CA/D3 2X and vitamins 1X weekly on different days with skip day in between. I do not use that powder food so can't comment on it; but if using would use as supplement and not staple diet.

When changing substrate to shredded coco, mix it with dechlorinated water until slightly damp (clumps in fist but does not drip water). Here is a care article with more information and good luck Frog Forum - Pacman and Horned Frogs - Ceratophrys - Care and Breeding .
