    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.

    Poor Julep and Bonk. Sorry I can't be of more help, not sure if a soak would help, but it may not hurt to try unless you think it'll stress him too much.

    Have you considered some Repta+Boost or something similar?

    I will in a couple days if he isn't better. He isn't low energy, however, just not eating.

    I wonder if putting him back in his other tank would make him feel more comfortable, but he wasn't eating there either and I don't want to reinfect him.

    Julep got his first dose of ReptaBoost. I gave him a half dose just in case he could qualify as "severe." Still no interest in bugs, still trying to get out of quarantine.

    At least Bonk took a bug. He hid in his hide all night, but he did peek out long enough to snatch a roach.

    Is Julep still trying to get out of quarantine? I'm not sure about your setup, but if you haven't already, maybe try to tape paper around three sides of the tank. I assume it would help him feel more secure and lessen the urge of trying to get out.

    I'm getting frustrated. Neither of my frogs have wanted to eat for another week. (Maybe my big one ate from his bowl, it got tipped over, I don't know.) I've been carefully giving the little frog reptaboost and a roach once a week. I just need him to poop so I can take the sample to the vet.

    It's so frustrating because the large frog actually did poop once and I overlooked it, so now I have to wait and hope before I can get him tested.

    Does anyone know the survival rate of frogs with nematode infections? It's been several weeks now.
