2-# on inhabitants - specifically ( if there is another frog ---size differences ?)
3-humidity
4-temp
5-water - type - for both misting and soaking dish
6-materials used for substrate
7-enclosure set up i.e. plants( live or artificial) wood, bark etc -how were things prepared prior to being put into the viv
8-main food source
9-vitamins and calcium ? ( how often )
10-lighting
11-what is, specifically, being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure
12-when is the last time he ate
13-have you found poop lately
14-a pic would be great ( including the frog ) any little cell phone pic is fine
15- how old is the frog
16-how long have you owned him
17- is the frog wild caught or captive bred
18- frog food- how often and if its diverse what other feeders are used as treats
19- about how often the frog is handled

1-size of enclosure (20 gallon )
2-# on inhabitants - specifically ( if there is another frog ---size differences ?) (There are 2 toads. Lia and a male toad. He is about the same size as her just a little smaller.)

3-humidity (about 60%-70%)
4-temp (about 65 degrees Fahrenheit)
5-water - type - for both misting and soaking dish( filtered tap water.)

6-materials used for substrate( coconut fibers from Eco Earth and moss)

7-enclosure set up i.e. plants( live or artificial) wood, bark etc -how were things prepared prior to being put into the viv ( one fake plant,one soaking dish,one food dish,one hide out spot. Everything was scrubbed down and rinsed off with hot water. The moss is cleaned about once a month and soaked in cold water then dried in sun.)

8-main food source ( mealworms but also eats earthworms and a few crickets and a few wax worms)

9-vitamins and calcium ? ( how often )( the mealworms and crickets eat cubes of vitamins called Flukers orange cube. The bugs also eat carrots and potatoes. That's the only vitamins.)

10-lighting (they are in a room with lots of windows)
11-what is, specifically, being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure ( a space heater outside the cage in cold months or if still too cold they are taken to a warmer room in the house)

12-when is the last time he ate ( 7 days ago)
13-have you found poop lately (has not pooped for almost a month but pees often)

14-a pic would be great ( including the frog ) any little cell phone pic is fine



15- how old is the frog ( she is just over a year)
16-how long have you owned him( just over a year. We got her when she was very small.)

17- is the frog wild caught or captive bred ( wild caught)
18- frog food- how often and if its diverse what other feeders are used as treats ( mealworms,superworms,crickets,earthworms,waxworms)

19- about how often the frog is handled ( every other day except lately not as much cause I'm afraid of hurting her)

20-is the enclosure is kept in a high or low traffic area( low)

Lots of issues here and I'm not sure I can pin the exact cause of the illness. Hopefully someone with more experience will pop in.

Firstly, ditch the moss. The toads can eat it and it will cause impaction. Secondly, primary diet should be crickets and/or earthworms...you can get the worms at most bait shops or walmart. Just make sure they aren't dyed. Mealworms can also cause impaction, considering it's been a month since you've seen feces, they're either buried or your toad is likely impacted. Wax worms are not something I would ever feed your toad, they are like a doughnut, lots of fat and no nutrition. Thirdly, they need their foods dusted with calcium and vitamins. And finally but very importantly, the tap water needs to be dechlorinated. Filtering does not remove the chlorine. I think most people here use seachem prime.
