    Ok, thanks guys . Im not sure how i would lower the temp in the cage, its about 20 degrees celsius in there most of the time. Also, how would solid and air feel? That may sound like a dumb question but i cant tell between the two lol

    Eventually as the light cycle changes, the temperature should go down slowly so it wont shock the toads.if this doesn't work, try placing an ice pack next to the tank. After about a week of this, make sure to bring the light cycles back to normal. Air in the toad would feel more squishy and the solids are more noticeable as if you can feel little lumps within. keep trying the honey bath and the Epsom salts treatment as Carlos suggested.

    Bottled water can be quite unsafe for frogs: http://www.frogforum.net/vivarium-te...hing-else.html. You should have at least an aquarium glass floating thermometer in the enclosure and for matching water temps during water changes. Those are only the equivalent of a couple $$ in the larger pet stores.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Excellent water from the viv can be used as long as its clean. Its pretty much impossible to tell the temps inside a tank without the thermometer. usually one drop of honey is enough in a small bowl of water, use a very small amount for now.

    If she feels like air, she may still be impacted. Most frogs with impaction will have bloating.
    Try feeding her small crickets, a smaller food item would be easier to digest.
