Pacman frog eating and leg problems

[jasonm96]

The mat should not get hot enough to melt the plastic tank, if used with a thermostat like they should be.

Try get it to a vet as soon as you get back. Even if it's a normal vet they might be able to help or get in contact with a herp vet. If the frog has a calcium deficiency then treatment right away is essential, otherwise if MBD gets to the stages where it cannot be reversed the frog will probably have to get put down

Mine cant change temperature, but isnt super hoy so there is no problems, and I have a appointment with a exotic pets vet tommorow, thanks for the help everyone

I'm not aware of any that do, you have to plug it into a reptile thermostat or rheostat

Good luck

Hey, glad to hear you got an apt with the vet. Hopefully it wont be to bad, all though he may have it if its not to advanced they are still able to live a somewhat normal life. And as Jason said about the heat matt they don't have a dial to change temps, you have to buy the thermostat and program that and it will keep the matt at certain temp. I wish they were controlled with something on the matt itself, it would save me a lot money buying thermostats for my tanks. I guess I could buy cheaper ones then I got but I love the zoomed hygrotherm, especaily if you have a fogger to go with it. let us know how the vet trip turns out.

Got back after doing some things, so it went well and he did have it but it wasn't to advanced. I got some gutfeed with calcium, liquid calcium for a calcium bath and a prescription medicine to give to em. Thanks for the help without it I wouldn't have known and it could've gotten worse. I also got a new thermometer.

Glad to hear everything went well. And no problem for the help, that's what the forum is here for.
