    Question Honey Bath Formula...?

    How much Honey per how much treated water? Recommended temp and amt of time to soak frog?

    Honey still hasn't pooped so looks like a honey bath tonight or tomorrow... meh.

    Such a pudge! Intermediate between brown and green here, makes her(him?) look dusty

    Just a little bit, a few drops. But honey bath has to be followed by regular treated water bath.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Eep. I did not do that, but I think mine climbed into the water bowl immediately afterwards so maybe it's okay.

    Default Honey Bath Formula...?

    I use 1 tbsp of honey, mixed with a shallow dish of room temp treated water and then rinse in a regular bath to get the honey off.

    I use organic non-GMO honey from the health food store so as to hopefully reduce pesticides and chemicals in it. It's solid and white so can't do a few drops, but I use maybe an 1/8th of a teaspoon, give or take. The water is bottled spring water treated with Reptisafe, and it is just warm enough so all the chill is taken off and the honey will melt. I soak the frog for 5-10 minutes then follow with a rinse off of the same temp spring water with Reptisafe and no honey.

    I misnamed my frog in the original post, that was Jelly Bean, not Honey-Lime. We lost poor Jelly last month He never grew much and was the size of a sub-adult the four years we had him. He always had trouble shedding and trouble with his digestion. I guess we were lucky to have had him as long as we did.
