    Default Whires Tree Frogs Parasistes???

    Hi, I noticeded that for a while now my whites tree frogs tank has really smelt foul. I did some googling and found that bad smelling poop can be a sign of parasites. Earlier today I picked up some poop with some toilet paper and it broke open. I noticed some Strang clear/white things like rice, I have a photo, Is it parasites?

    I can't tell for sure from the picture, but something is definitely wrong. I recommend taking the frog to a vet ASAP!

    I'm not an expert in the least, but that rice stuff doesn't look good.

    Yes, you need a vet ASAP! Or at least get that poop tested asap! I have a suspicion that frog was WC and was never treated. It has to be done asap. A tank completely disinfected.
    get it to the vet ASAP, meanwhile place a frog in quarantine rank, wet papertowels, some easily disinfected decor. Everything has to be completely disinfected, papertowels changed every day until your vet will give you ok to do otherwise.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Hi, thanks for imput. I spoke to the person I bought the frogs frog and she showed me some cricket eggs. It looks like the crickets they were eating were pregnant as the eggs look exactly like what we are seeing. Just to be safe though, the frogs are still being wormed.

    Yeah the rice looking things look like cricket eggs to me frogs cant digest them. But if your still worried no harm done in getting frog tested, treated.

    The smell alone would worry me enough to test without seeing that My frogs are being treated for coccidiosis but have never had foul smelling feces, even though the poo has been messy/loose. That's totally weird about the cricket eggs, something to keep in mind for sure.
