Prolapse!!! D:

I would avoid feeding him anything for as long as you feel comfortable. It needs time to heal and you don't want him to have to pass anything at all. I have no idea about fasting and your coccidiosis treatments though, the vet who provided you with the medication should be able to help with this (of course they may also ask to see your frog as well).

Glad it went back in, and best of luck.

Thanks He actually did get one small wax worm late last night. Think I should hold off giving him anything again tonight until it's time for their treatment on Sunday? They get their Metro injected into a wax worm and fed to them that way. So far I've been feeding them daily since I haven't been able to find definitive info on when to switch them to an every-other-day feeding schedule; also someone on FF recommended that they be fed every day during treatment.

What are some other good food choices I can make for my WTFs that are easy to digest but not as fatty as wax worms? I've been feeding just crickets (except for when they get a wax worm with their meds) and sHEila has always been a voracious feeder.

Here he is, sleeping comfy back in his rightful place this afternoon

Earthworms. You can usually get them from a bait shop, make sure they're undyed. We have a gas station here that sells them about 2 blocks away.

+1 for earthworms if he'll accept them. You can dig wild ones as well if you have a chemical free area to scavenge from.

If it weren't for the treatment, I'd have no problems going a couple weeks without feeding given how plump it looks. However I honestly don't know how fasting and your medication will mix.

Just not red wrigglers, probably. My frog puffed up with air and skwawked at me after he tasted one. I think it may have put him off earthworms for good. He liked the Canadian nightcrawlers I gave him before, though. Edit: Also, I cut them down to bite-size one-inch pieces for him. Wasting part of the worm was better than choking the frog.

My biggest grey, Paddy, will not touch earthworms because I tried a red wiggler when I first got her. I had no idea!

The 'distance between the eye' feeder size rule is something I've always ignored with regard to earthworms, I usually aim for worms roughly the length of the frog itself. They're not likely to have any trouble getting down such a soft bodied insect, assuming they find them palatable at all.

Not that cutting the worms up is wrong or anything, just not necessary imo. Though in the case of easing your frog back into eating after a prolapse, it's not a bad idea if the worms you have available that it's willing to eat are of the fat variety.

I cut the earthworms for my PCF since she can't digest them properly unless they are cut. And they really smell if she doesn't digest them
