    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!

    I feed my baby pacs 1 pinky every day with calcium covered super worms, crickets, and an occasional wax worm thrown in the mix. As they grow older they stop eating so often and would rather have 1 or 2 mice a week. I breed mice, so there is no more $3 per mouse to burn me with! plus ther is usually a few pinkies for the little guys.

    Pacmans may survive off that diet of almost only rodents. But im willing to bet that im not the only pacman keeper with years and years of exp that would NOT recomend this. A good mix of differnt bugs w calcium is best. And mice once in a while.
