    Sorry for the late reply!

    He's still trying to push it out, but he can't get it all the way.
    I'm going to go to Petco today and grab some things, and see if they have any hornworms.
    He hasn't eaten so it might not work..

    Also, where can I get chlorinated water tablets? Or is it safe to heat up the spring water in the microwave?
    I really want to try to save him. I'm looking up exotic pet vets in our area, but the closest one seems to have better
    knowledge of birds than anything.

    Ok, so she went. I think she was impacted for a longer time, and now I think her intestines are also out. I'm sorry for double posting but I'm not sure what to do. Will be calling vet.

    EDIT: I am trying a sugar/water soak. He does have a prolapse but is more than energetic. I called all 5 vets, and none will take him. One vet even changed her tone when I asked if they'd help a White's Tree Frog.

    oh no, those can be bad and can cause necrosis if they dry out and get infected. If it doesn't go in, try (very gently) using a dampened q-tip to push it in.

    you don't need water chlorinating tablets, I think you meant de-chlorinator? It's usually in bottles and can be found anywhere they sell stuff for fish. The kind for fish is fine.

    Ok, I was just reading that, ha!
    And yes sorry; I'm glad to know the fish ones are ok!

    I don't know if it went through, but he stayed in the sugar/water soak for 10 minutes.
    It;s clean but didn't go back in.

    The prolapse is too bad for me to push in with a q-tip, but I tried to sprinkle a very small
    amount of sugar on the prolapse as read in another thread.

    Here's a picture of the prolapse; at this point without the vets' help, I don't know what to do.
    I don't want to be a bad owner haah :/.

    Now, I'll just put a picture in link form in case people don't want to see it.
    Since this picture it has gone in a little, but not all the way.
