Yes, we do have a uvb light over our frogs cage.

The fecal you could get done at herp vet they aren't expensive at all. And if that's all the viamins they get is the calcium in the water frpm the conditioner then no that wouldn't be enough. You should be giving them a multivitamin and calcium and d3 and the uvb will help them process the d3 better. Hope I said that right. If you haven't been providing the calcium and d3 then I would say mbd is probably whats happening from the sounds of the symptoms. A good brand is Repashy Calcium Plus, this has calcium and D3 and the multivitamin all in one. Im editing because I almost forgot, I do a 25% water once a week with mine. And I usually change the filter pad around the end of the month.

Thanks again for the help!

We ordered some phoenix worms, which are supposed to be high calcium and will help if the frog has MBD. We are also going to the pet store today to get some Repashy Calcium.

I checked on the frog this morning, and he seems to be hopping better, and isn't doing the head thing very much. I hope this means that he is on the road toward recovery.

Sorry to hear about your little guy. Hope he makes a speedy recovery. I use a product by T-Rex called Fire Belly Toad Dust. It has calcium, vit A and D and protein. This way I don't have to use different products and it's fairly inexpensive. It's also meant to be used with every feed or at least close, in addition to gut loading the crickets.

Do you vary their diet at all?

Also, i use Seachem Prime to condition my tap water and it works really well. I've not seen those symptoms in mine but sounds like the experts are all over this.

Good luck!

Thanks for the advice! We feed our FBT's gut loaded crickets. Every once in a while, as a treat we get them red wrigglers or nightcrawlers. Is this not enough variation?

The frog is a tiny bit better, and isn't having much trouble jumping anymore. However, he seems very lethargic and jumps around suddenly if the cage is moved. I hope that he will pull through..
