"No" Frog

[Bynny Ribbit]

That's the problem. It seems like a whole lot because I'm giving a tiny half of .01 dosage.

Yikes, and I thought Moochy's dosage was small. Yeah, it might be good to confirm if it's a problem. I wonder if there's a way to dilute the Panacur and make the dosage a little higher?

As for the medicine I would never use a credit card just because I'd be worried of breaking the jaw of the frog.

I've also heard of people using those little rubber spatulas to open their mouths. Might be gentler since it's soft.

I'll keep the injecting bugs in mind. The problem is that the frog's not striking at anything at all, and he's never had a waxworm, so he doesn't know they're tasty. I don't think he'd strike at those either.

The nematodes could have come from the plants even though I cleaned them off first and rinsed with bleach/water. Or maybe it was the leaf litter which was boiled and baked. I tried, but it must not have been enough. Thanks for the reassurance though.

He's lively and moving around, but he hasn't eaten anything although I left a bowl of crickets in his tank. I'm worried.

[BossFrog]

When did he eat last? Is he doing any better?

Julep ate last when I force-fed him a dubia on Sunday. I've only done that once, but I might try it again. He's still lively, still wants out of quarantine. To make things worse, the other frog, Bonk isn't going after bugs either. I left another bowl of crickets in the tank and he just now seems to be even aware of them. Luckily Bonk is pretty fat.

Would anyone recommend unflavored pedialyte as a bath for Julep? I might try a honey bath to stimulate his hunger, but he seems to have plenty of energy.

I considered just putting Julep back in the tank to make him feel more comfortable, but he's just been treated for worms. I don't want to re-infect him.

They've both been calling more than usual, I wonder if that means anything.

[BossFrog]

Aw poor little guy.. Did you get Bonk tested for nematodes? Did you get them tested for anything else? Could be something else.

Supposedly the vet did a general analysis of Julep's poop, just stuck it under the microscope. I haven't been able to bring any of Bonk's in yet.

After I force-fed Julep, he pooped in a couple of days and it was oddly greenish. That's a little worrying.
