    Well I dont notice anything out of the ordinary in concern with lumps, and the warm water bath resulted in nothing but a slightly annoyed pacman...

    I'll give the substrate a check now, see what i can come up with...

    just keep trying every evening with the baths, mine finally went yesterday after a few days of baths, so i left the turd to dry out so i could check it to see what in his diet may have been blocking him up and as i suspected it was just a lot of substrate but i also found these. could they be a parasite?? there rather large you can see them with out the magnifying glass.

    Alright, day 3 of warm baths and still nothing, and he seems to be looking a bit swollen around his mid section.

    i read somewhere online that a very small amount of medemucial (spelling) or other stimulate in the water or dusted on their food can help them go, but that just seems a bit weird to me and I dont wanna risk it without some feedback.

    Any thoughts?

    Bruce, I have heard of people giving their frog medications to help them go, but I myself cannot remember the names. I actually think I may have stumbled on that information somewhat reciently, so I am going to go look around (maybe check my web viewing history) and see if I can find that info.

    It does sound like he is blocked up, damn it that's not fun. I'm sorry. The only thing I would even consider trying is all natural canned pumpkin juice. But that's iffy. Do you know of anything he nay have ingested to cause a block? Or has he eaten many rodents...? The most common block is compacted substrate, or a chunk of gravel. Is he interested in food still?

    I am sorry. I was unable to locate the site with that specific information on it.

    My frogs are on a mostly rodent diet(their preferense), and they have no problems with throwin' fleshies! I have to remove multiple thumb sized stanky turds every week. If I don't, there will be a bad smell, then mold. maybe you should feed your frog a little more. Is that all he ate in two weeks? food=poop!
