Hello everyone,

Unfortunately my frog has what I assume is a pretty bad and unusual impaction. It is on the frog's right hand side (on the left when looking at the frog head on), which is the side I always understood the stomach to be on. I can feel that the impaction is lumpy, I would say two distinct lumps. I have not fed my frog in about 3 weeks and have been giving warm honey baths frequently and massaging its sides during the baths, but no luck. The frog hasn't pooped in over a month. I was wondering if there were any other methods I could add to this honey bath routine to help my frog pass the impaction. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. I am also confused as to why my frog has become impacted, as I never feed hard foods and I tong feed to reduce substrate consumption. I guess the frog does eat substrate when shedding, so that could be a factor, but it's just coco fiber. Enclosure information is posted below.



1. Size of enclosure: 10 gal

7. Enclosure set up i.e. plants (live or artificial), wood, bark and other materials.: Bioactive, live plants + springtails and isopods
- How were things prepared prior to being put into the viv.
8. Main food source: Zoomed Pacman frog diet/earthworms/canned insects for diversity
9. Vitamins and calcium? (how often): Every 3 feedings or so (Zoomed contains vitamins and calcium so I try to avoid over supplementing)
10. Lighting: 9 watt LED 6500k
11. What is being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure: Heat pad attached to back
12. When is the last time he/she ate: >3 weeks ago
