Help!!! Asap

[CalculatingFrog]

With your frog however you need to get reptiboost (petsmart usually carries that) and dust whatever he is eating every time.
he has vitamin deficiency, i would think vit a to be exact.

I am curious what helped you to decide that? How can you tell what he needs?

Experience and knowledge. In that particular case a frog had a history of nonsupplemented food items, especially non supplemented with vitamins, he also presents as not able to catch crickets properly=very possible A vitamin deficiency.

therefore that is where treatment should start.

Lija is correct. Lack of Vitamin A reduces their production of the sticky mucus that coats their tongue making it difficult for them to catch prey. If the frog lacks both calcium and. Vitamin A it will develope short tongue syndrome which not only reduces mucus production, but also weakens the muscles in the tongue and the frog cannot flick its tongue out at full length hence the name of the syndrome.
