    Default My Bully just die this morning


    Last night he's still ok, jump all over the box when i feed him a superworm. I used to feed him shrimps (just as big as a superworm), but yesterday, i got some superworms for my geckos, and give him one, he try to hunt the worm, but after a few miss, i went to feed my geckos... Then this morning i wake up to this... the superworm is still alive, can anybody tell me what is wrong
    Did the superworm kill my bullfrog?

    so sorry for your loss it is very sad.
    it is hard to say what was a cause based on information provided. you can always opt for necropsy done. but if a question is if superworm can be a cause of death the answer is yes, but not directly, especially if a frog was fed shrimp before, and it will happen over time. lots of things can be gone wrong here, you can answer to trouble in the enclosure questions,. so we can suggest some, it won't help this frog unfortunately, but might help if you get another.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    or did he just freeze to death, it's like 18-20 Celsius here, but i think that's not enough to kill him, right?
    and WHY is he showing his belly? if he die, shouldn't he just die sitting like always? Why this upside down

    Even though I have not had a frog death since I was a lot younger, they tend to die upside down. I have a feeling it was the shrimp. Bacteria of some sort. The superworms should not cause death at all.

    oh thank you for that, maybe it's the shrimp, that's quite a lesson for me, he's all healthy, eat like a pig and boom, he's in that pose
    hope he's in better place.

    I'm very sorry for your frog's death . When you say shrimp; do you mean freshwater prawn and crayfish or saltwater shrimp? Feeding saltwater shrimp to vertebrates not used to them, can cause problems over time.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
