Yeah, I had a frog that I am pretty sure I lost to high fat content. I had thought he had bloat, but he just looked full. However he was floating and could only move one side. It was a matter of hours before he passed.
I'm pretty sure I accidentally gave him a stroke by giving him too many bloodworms. Even though it could have been bloat due to the fact bloodworms are notorious for causing it.
I suppose it's just a sad mystery.

When they get older I might vary their diet so they get adequate nutrition. So far I just give reptomin and shrimp pellet treats because apparently reptomin is great for quickly growing little frogs(froglet? juvenile? I'm not sure what to call them until they are adults) because they are a kick *** source of vitamins that promote bone and body growth/strength.
