    I tried adding pics, but they showed up upside down for some reason.

    Goodmorning, the first thing I noticed is that if got him as a baby he day time temp should be 82f no less during the day and let it drop a degrees at night. You didn't put in what kind of water you use and if your using the wrong water that could playing a big part in your frogs health. Also when you say he gets calcium 2xs a week does it have d3 in it? do you give it any kind of multivitamin? Crickets are not good as a staple diet, they have no nutritional value at all. Nightcrawlers are way better for a staple food. And I know you said your pics came through upside down but if its possible try again it would be so helpful for someone to help. To me the flipping over is a huge concern and I if you really think your frogs health is making uncomfortable or he is pain etc. I would get him to vet as soon as possible. Someone here may be able to help you find out whats wrong but if its serious you will need a vet anyway to get antibiotics.

    I don't know what everyone else thinks, but he seems a bit bloated to me? Does anyone else think so?

    After I took that pic, he used the bathroom, so it could had been that? But I was feeding him 5 crickets every other night before he started not eating hardly or at all.

    I think he looks a little bloated but then if he is its not to much. He almost just looks a little on chunky side. Which I have seen way chubbier on youtube, so if that's the case he doesn't look to bad. Its very hard to tell in this picture because his eyes look fine and to me there is really no big signs of illness. But im no pro and have just took up this frogging thing back in august.
    Did everything literally start at the same time? I really don't know what to say im so sorry. Hopefully one of the moderators or someone who knows a lot more sees this thread soon. Without a picture of him in the condition hes in now its hard to really tell. And ya I know you tried, I have had problems before trying to post pictures myself.Oh and I noticed you id answer the calcium an d3 question but you never mentioned if you give him his multivitamin.
