Please Help my Ornate! Not pooping :(

[Sprout]

Hi there,

My frog hasn't pooped for around 10 days now, I've been giving him warm water soaks on a nightly basis but nothing has happened. I've noticed he is a lot bigger and firmer on one side than the other.

He feeds on locusts and crickets (gut loaded and dusted) and lives on coco fibre substrate, as far as I know there is nothing in his tank that he couldn't pass through.

Any suggestions on how I can help him? He seems quite lethargic and I'm pretty worried

I'm sure more people can chime in as I have never seen impaction before, but that's what it sounds like to me. With the bloat and firmer on one side, sounds like a classic case. I don't know how to solve it though, so hopefully someone else will help.

Thanks!

Yes, it seems like something has gotten stuck but I really can't think what it could be, he's never been on moss and hasn't had a mouse for a month. His tank is always at 70-80% humidity and misted regularly.

Try adding some honey to the water.

Thanks! Would have never thought of that... I'll give it a try..

If that doesn't work, hopefully someone else will pop on and give another suggestion.
