Help with sick Reed Frog

[Heatheranne]

He is definitely showing signs that something is bothering him. Lets figure out what it is?

First, do you have a nice clear photo of him?

Does he have any skin lesions or wounds?

Do you use calcium with vitamin D3 supplement? Do you use multivitamin supplement?

Temp in tank?

Humidity in tank?

Hi there Heather,

He has no visible skin lesions or wounds. But getting him out of his old tank has been rather enlightening to something that looks like some sort of bowel distress. On the right side of the belly, there is a dark spot.

I use a multivitamnin with the crickets (Exo Terra Multivitamin Powder Supplement) - the temperature in the tank is around 80 during the day, and 70-75 overnight. I don't own a humidity gauge, unfortunately, but maintain a medium-high humidity with regular mistings. The substrate I used was a potting soil, there are two or three viny, tropical plants and some star-moss. He had a shallow, 5-inch diameter saucer with shallow, clean, dechlorinated water that was changed every two days.

I gave him a little warm water bath this afternoon in some dechlorinated, luke warm water to see if it helped any. He was a little more active for a short period of time, but he is back to being rather lethargic.

Thank you - any expertise would be greatly appreciated!
