    Ok, fake plants. You've cleaned the bowl with the perfect cleaner-- as vinager evaporates faster than water. Very good! Hmmm, now were down to outside toxins (sprays and etc.) impaction, and possibly droppsy. But with droppsy the whole body kinda puffs up and they're almost paralized. I'd try the bath of warm water(75-80) and don't stress them by taking them out. Do that if this persists. Just warm spring water in comunal bowl. I don't think reds would get that big coco fiber inside them, but I guess it's possible.

    My WTF gets air stuck in it's sack after calling sometimes, it takes a while to go away. Could it be they were calling earlier, and you weren't around? Beleive me, they know before u get back in the room. It is mating season.

    Wow yeah the first thing that came to mind was dropsy, but make sure you try the water first and don't jump to any drastic conclusions. Update us after you try the water, I'm hoping that works. Poor little guy.

    Looks like a perfectly normal and healthy calling male.

    Thank you so much everyone, you have been a great help hopefully he was just calling, I have two though and they both have it I suppose they both could be looking for a mate though! I'll try the water tomorrow when I can get to the store for some spring water, I have had reptiles before but these are my first frogs they are just so much less active and different in their needs. I'll let everyone know how everything goes. Thank you again.

    Wait...is this frog stuck in this position all the time or is it intermittent? Because if he is frozen in this position I don't think he's calling, but if you see his throat puff up and then go back in, he's calling.

    I haven't heard either one of them call yet, but when they breathe it does go in a bit and then back out. But it is more distended than normal I would say but I've never had frogs before so I wouldn't know. Here is a picture of him when I first got him as comparison.
