Prolapse

[michael novy]

In my experience, some frogs prolapse for a couple of reasons as well as parsite realated issues.. 1 being how clean is the cage,2 being the cricket is to large for the animal (in which the space between the frogs eyes should determine the size of the cricket), 3 temps are to low and the animal cannot digest it (mid 70's during the day is perfect), 3 too much calcium carbonate can cause intestinal blockage..

Just a thought and hopefully something helps you out..

His living area stays really clean. I spot clean the feces when I see them. Change substrate when its needed. I pretty much do daily spot cleaning and clean it on the weekends. My temps during the day range form 75-78 and the night temps are 71-73.
Maybe the size of the cricket was just a little big....I remember seeing him go potty and boy was the poop BIG. You mention too much calcium.... I usually feed the crickets the Joshs Frogs which is supposed to supply them with some calcium. Should I be dusting crickets with calcium supplements EVERY OTHER feeding? Well I woke up this morning to a lovely string of calls from my RETF. He seems VERY happy and looks beautiful in color. He was very active last night. He was pouncing around everywhere and scouting for food.
