First honey bath

[Hill111]

The frog is in a 10 gallon tank with coconut fiber for substrate. The substrate is about 1 inch deep, and the frog is about 1 inch or slightly longer. There is a soaking dish that has shallow water but I don't think he's used it yet. The temps in the tank are about 82 F during the day and 72-74 F at night. The humidity is between 60-80% usually around 70-75% most of the time. I've never fed dubia's to any of my frogs before, I have 3 firebellies and had a pacman frog before who died, so maybe they take longer to pass than crickets or worms. I think I'm just slightly paranoid because my last Pacman died after just a few weeks being totally healthy for no apparent reason. I got it from Petsmart and many people told me that this could be the reason and that I should buy one from a breeder at a reptile expo.

I would give it time. It took my pacman I think 3 weeks before she pooped when I first got her? I think if it goes on to 2-3 weeks, then you can pursue with honey baths, but I would let the little guy acclimate to its new home first.

Your husbandry sounds fine. I wouldn’t worry. Also froglets that size don’t typically produce massive poops. 10 gallons is a bit big so offer some cover like a slab of cork bark. That may provide some security and less burrowing.

There’s a pretty big log cover thing in the tank that he went under when I first put him in there, but now he’s just burrowing in random spots in the tank. I read somewhere on this forum that as long as the temps and humidity are good then you shouldn’t be a helicopter parent and just let the frog be so I’m gonna go with that! Thanks for the reassurance though, it can be needed
