Stinky.. Help :(

What does he eat? Have you fed him any whole earthworms recently?

Sounds like pee. Tree frogs often pee when handled.. it stinks, so I've always chalked that up to self defense when coupled with handling.

Frog pee stinks?? I must be nose blind because we've kept frogs for years and I've never experienced smelly frog pee...?

When I hear about stinky liquid from a frog's hind end I think protozoans... coccidiosis and giardiasis cause smelly runny poo, but I don't know about any clear liquid. There is a gelatinous clear gunk though that is related. Was the liquid like water or was it slimy or sticky? Usually when a frog pees they just jet it, they don't really assume a poo posture (hind legs tucked into the sides at an angle and spread out at the vent?) at least that's been my experience.

I hope it is just normal pee (smelly or not) and everything is ok.

I've been peed on dozens (hundreds?) of times over the years. By my own frogs a few times, but mostly by wild ones. Mostly Hyla versicolor, but a few other species as well. It doesn't smell like roses. Your definition of stink may vary.

Likely it does, lol. Some folks thing Kung pao chicken smells good and I think it smells like a cross between skunk and burning rubber tires :P
