still nothing.

still nothing.

I'm sorry... This sounds weird but, praying for poo!

[elly]

Heh, thanks. I'm just concerned because I've heard that if frogs eat before hibernation the food can ferment in their stomach and kill them. I'm not planning on hibernating mine, of course, but you see why I'm worried. I think I'll try another warm bath tonight.

still nothing despite the warm bath last night. :/
He noticed the cricket container next to his tank and tried to get at them, so he's hungry. I don't know what that means.

It might mean he is hungry give some food, and if you do a bath try to add a little bit of honey to the bath. It acts as natural laxative.

impacted frogs are very very rarely are interested in food. I bet you just didn't see the poop.

Thanks! Yeah, I could have sworn that thing in the bowl was shed skin- the right color, the right texture.

Right now Bonk is staring at the dubia in the plastic bowl I put in his cage. He's curious, but seems like he's decided that it's impossible to reach.

...And now he's back to hiding. Apparently he's decided I exist to torment him and give him baths. He's not used to being handled so much.
