Hi everyone,
My American green tree frog recently died 2 days ago .
When I examined the dead frog to see if I could find a possible cause of death, I noticed a brown spot inside his belly. Internal bleeding perhaps?
Sincerely,
Sanimal
I'm very sorry your frog died . Not sure about spot; does not look normal. Think a herp vet conducting a necropsy is only way to determine what caused the death.
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !
Sorry about your frog Could it maybe be impaction perhaps?

So sorry for your loss Strider's suggestion is probably what it is, What did you feed him before he passed?

Thank you for all your quick replies! I had been feeding him mainly small crickets. Once or twice a month I had fed him 4-6 small mealworms or waxworms (and when I did feed him worms he usually only ate a small amount). I know that the night before he passed, I had placed 5 waxworms into his dish, considering he hadn't had worms in a month. However, I unfortunately can't remember now if there were any worms missing from the dish the day I found him dead. I think all 5 were still there, but I'm not 100% sure.
As for substrate, I had used eco earth (with a drainage layer of small gravel at the bottom separated from the eco earth by a mesh). On top of the eco earth I had had sheet moss.
