Just checked in on my frogs before bed and found that my Surinam horned frog has three sores or wounds on his face. I would appreciate some help regarding identification and procedure.
Enclosure info:
1. Size of enclosure - 5 gallon
2. # of inhabitants - Just him
3. Humidity - unaware
4. Temperature - currently 75.1, set temp at 78 (F)
5. Water type - treated tap water
6. Materials used for substrate - NEHERP vivarium substrate
7. Enclosure set up i.e. plants (live or artificial), wood, bark and other materials - one big rock and a piece of cork
8. Main food source - dusted crickets and thawed frozen shrimp
9. Vitamins and calcium? - 1/week
10. Lighting - jungle dawn LED indirect
11. What is being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure - heat pad
12. When is the last time he/she ate - crickets 48hrs prior
13. Have you found poop lately -yes
14. A pic would be helpful including frog and enclosure (any including cell phone pic is fine) - will do
15. Describe frog's symptoms and/or recent physical changes; -Darker color than usual. Three wounds on sides of face.
16. How old is the frog - between 1 and 1.5 years
17. How long have you owned him/her - 1 year and 7 days
18. Is the frog wild caught or captive bred - captive bred
19. Frog food- how often and if it is diverse, what other feeders are used as treats - 1/week crickets and 1/week frozen shrimp. Frozen pinkies as a very rare treat.
20. How often the frog is handled - almost never. Only during cleaning and even then minimally.
21. Is the enclosure kept in a high or low traffic area - low traffic
22. Describe enclosure maintenance (water changes, cleaning, etc) - microfauna keep the place pretty clean. I spot clean poops daily and mist daily. I mostly try not to bother him. When I do a big clean I like to let him soak in a bucket filled maybe 1/2 in of water while I swap out his substrate while trying to keep all the isopods.
