Clawed frogs can go a long time without eating, a while back I had a clawed frog that would not eat for over a month but then one day she just started eating like normal and has been eating ever since.

Also make sure your water quality is good, I would invest in an API Freshwaster Master Kit so you can test your Ammonia/Nitrite/Nitrate level so you know water chemistry is ok. You want zero Ammonia/Nitrite and a low amount of Nitrate, if that checks out your water quality is good.

Last suggestion would be to make sure the tank is in a quiet place, clawed frogs are kind of skittish, I keep my frogs in my office room which is a low traffic area of the house. Having a background can help with stress too. I noticed your tank is kind of bare, you may want to invest in some water sprite or some other floating plants, these make clawed frogs feel more secure (and improve water quality too).

Thanks for your input! The tank is in a very quiet room already, and I'll test the water tonight--although I've been doing PWC's on average about every 36 hours, so I don't know how accurate it would be. I have a test kit, but it only has Ammonia and Nitrate tests. I'll try to find another one at the pet store (as well as the Canadian nightcrawlers).

I've been trying to keep only the hiding place in the tank, because the frog usually destroys anything else. But I do live next to a pond store, so I'll go check out their stock.

Do you think a salt bath would help? If so, would I use the same salt concentration as I would for a frog with bloat? I'm a little concerned, since her lower back has turned lighter and looks a little rough. Before, it used to be naturally pigmented-looking.
