Ohhh Okay, thanks again Elly!

Do not feed red wigglers to your frog, they hate them! I accidentally fed my Pacific chorus frog a red wiggler and more she had refused to eat worms at all for a few days

I was just going to mention that about the redworms! And yes a video would be great! I'm loving making vids of my guys. Definitely put them on YouTube, I think it's the only way to add them here, by linking (correct me if I'm wrong someone?) Another great place to post vids is on the White's Tree Frog Lovers group on FB. Great group and some of the other White's tree frog lovers on here are over there also https://www.facebook.com/groups/WhitesTreeFrogs/

Here are some ideas for worm keeping bins Worm Composting Bins | What is the best Wormery?

Now, these are for composting worms (like red wigglers), but I think they would work for night crawlers/fishing worms. Will have to look into that more.

[FrogsFascinated]

Thanks irThumper!!! I'll check those out! I'll probably just do something with Youtube, I'm not allowed to have a Facebook yet, gotta follow Mom's rules..

I'll start the video tomorrow morning and maybe have it up between Thursday and this weekend, it all depends on how long editing takes xD

[irThumper]

Sounds good! I just consider this place "Frog Book"! Oh, and you can look up a bunch of stuff about growing night crawlers and earth worms on YouTube too. Looking forward to seeing your vid!

[FrogsFascinated]

Thanks!!! I'm looking forward to making it! I subscribed to you so you can see my profile It took me forever to get the channel art picture to work how I wanted it and now it's blurry xD

[irThumper]

Thanks! I had a hard time figuring mine out too, so I just opted for a nice pond pic, lol.

[FrogsFascinated]

Haha I edited a pic with Pogo and my channel name but I couldn't get it to size up right xD

[irThumper]

Hmm! I don't think your settings allow me to see you anyway :P "Only subscribers who share their subscriptions publicly are shown".

[FrogsFascinated]

Hmm.. I'll have to fix that! Do you have to be subscribed to me to see it? I was in my channel and clicked "View as public" and I was able to see my profile banner, so I don't know!

That I'm not sure actually. Will take another look when I get back from shopping.

Walmart sells night crawlers. Petsmart and Petco often do too. I sometimes order mine from www.joshsfrogs.com when buying a bunch at a time.

Once the prolapse has resolved and he is pooping normally without difficulty, he can eat the night crawler pieces and medium crickets. You can also stop the Pedialyte soakings at that time. Only feed him one 1" worm piece or 1-2 small/medium crickets every 2-3 days. Best to start with soft worm pieces. If he develops another prolapse, you'll have to go back to square one. Don't forget your ca/D3 and MVI.

Okay guys I got the video up today!!! I forgot I had an app on my phone to make different scenes as I was making it, so here's the video! If you guys want a video with a better view of his tank set up let me know!

Aww, poor baby. Far as I can tell you're doing well. There are only two things I'm a little concerned about, maybe someone more knowledgeable here can tell me if these are a problem: 1. rinsing him in water from the shower/faucet that isn't dechlorinated. 2. Rubbing his back a little much maybe. Oils and salts in human skin aren't really good for frogs, maybe having an imperfect shed would be better than being exposed to them quite so much.

Thank you dj1, that was my plan. There's lots of places in my yard that are great for worms, since they stay moist but not drenched and if I dig up just a little portion of ground there are many worms.

Would it be a good idea to maybe make a box like shape out of plywood or use a bucket and put dirt in it, with some worms, as winter is coming and I don't think worms will be as abundant as in spring/summer/fall and I'd like to have a plethora of worms for Pogo once he gets his appetite back.

I would use a bucket but keep it somewhere out of any bad weather, rain that will flood it, or frost that may kill the inhabitants.
I must say I have never given a tree dwelling animal an earth dwelling foodstuff. I don't know where you are in the USA, but couldn't you put a light over a box of screwed up newspapers left on all night, and collect moths or flying insects the next day?
The thing with feeding flying or crawling insect is the frog will getexcersie hunting, not just feeding as it sits, I agree with the ideas here of a taller enclosure, tree frogs need to climb and the higher the better. even a home made snake type viv of wood with glass front standing on end would do. I hope your frog pulls through, at least if it doesn't you have tried your best, and don't let events stop you keeping more of these wonderful creatures.

Good job on the vid! I commented on there and subscribed

dj1, Pogo has never really been a climber for as long as we've had him, and when his previous owner had him. His previous owner had taken many classes on amphibian/reptile science and hand made his tank herself to suit his specific needs

irThumper, Thanks!!! I just read your comments Even though I haven't been using gloves, I am very gentle when helping him shed. I let the water do most of the work, and if there's a piece that the water gets loose then I'll carefully remove it the rest of the way.

Good advice, although I have a feeling the frog's not going to be climbing any time soon with paralyzed back legs. Also, nightcrawlers aren't the most natural of food for tree dwelling frogs, but they do have lots of protein, little fat and they're soft and therefore easy on a frog that's had a prolapse so I imagine they won't be too bad.

Agreed elly I was thinking a head more than recent events, may be i should have made that clearer,

@frogsfascinated, I wonder why your frog never climbed now our with the previous owner, I have seen them wild in Australia and they were about 20 feet up. Though in dry weather they are often found lower down even in toilet cisterns, but I'm sure you will know that. May be the original tank was to dry and the frog stopped nearer the floor as it was more moist with it's water bowl/pool area there.

[FrogsFascinated]

I moved him into a different tank today that has nothing in it, aside from damp papertowels and two fish tank decorations for him to hang on to or mess around with. One's a bridge, and the other is like an old sunken barrel. Nothing he could hurt himself with
