Help: Injured Bullfrog Care

[Pleasantly]

Just changed out his water because it was getting nasty. He was jumping like crazy in the bucket I put him in. That's amazing because just a few days ago, he wouldn't jump at all. So I'd say it's a good thing I drilled holes in the lid to the tote he's in so I could snap it down

Thanks!

We were able to find a connection to a 30 gal tank. I'm getting excited to build his home and have found myself really interested in creating a paludarium. I've been looking for a good winter activity that will give me my gardening fix while snow is covering the ground. Growing aquatic plants indoors in a tank with the frog will probably do the trick!

As for the frog, I fed him 2 crickets today. He's moving all around his temporary tank and is sitting in the water to soak more and more. So far he just keeps getting better every day.

I admit though, I'm a little freaked out by the parasites bit. I've been wearing gloves to handle him and keep the area clean where I tend to him, but the word "parasites" just keeps creeping through me. What kind of parasites do wild frogs generally have? Can they be transmitted to humans? I'm hoping to get treatment for them, tomorrow.

I cannot find treatment for parasites or even any info on where to buy it. All I've found was 2 products that I can't find for sale online except for one and it was for cattle..I'm betting the dosage for a cow would be much different than for a frog. I called a vet and they want $75 just to see him and then the cost of the medication on top of that. It's going to cost quite a bit just to get him set up, let alone a vet bill for over $100. It's looking like we might have to release him. Does anyone have information on the products used to treat amphibian parasites and where I can buy them?

I ordered Panacur through his office. Thank you do much for linking me to him.

I had no idea, but my cousin happens to have a frog vivarium, which I got to see today. She had a 30 gal aquarium, cover, a cricket cage with water and food for them, and some moss for me. I'm currently bleaching the tank. The crickets are all set up in their box and eating and drinking. She has fire belly toads and a Dumpy tree frog. The tree frog is so cute!

Currently, I've been reading the vivarium forum here and watching youtube videos. It's sort of hard to find info on a set up that's more pond-like and less rainforest-like. I'm absoultely in love with paludariums and know I could make a hobby out of that, but I wonder how it will work out with a pond frog?

I'm a little confused about false bottoms and whatnot. I'd like a pond area along the front, and I'd like to keep the substrate out of the water. I'm learning about that as I go. We shall see!

Thank you so much for all the help here. I'm still amazed everyday that our frog is still with us and improving! Yesterday he started calling, which was really awesome to hear. Between him and the crickets, it sounds like there's a pond in my kitchen
