Do Frogs have seizures?

[Ebony]

She Say's the Frog is doing well and hasn't had another seizure yet.She didn't take it to the Vet.

She also has a Green and golden Frog (also young) that screams at her every time she puts her hand in her tank. Ive had frogs for 5 years and Ive never heard mine scream. I witnessed her frog doing it and i think it was really scared. It was hopping around and just screaming until she shut the terrarium doors.

record it i want to hear a frog scream. Also does anyone think this could almost be its release call?

[Ebony]

Hi Tom...If you google Screaming frog you can see plenty. It not so nice to me as I think the frogs are unhappy/scared. Like my friends frog. Its understandable for wild frogs but sad for captive frogs. But that's just my opinion.

What is her feeding and supplementation regimen? It could be a defense mechanism, but it could also be linked to a calcium deficiency, among other possibilities.

Hi Mike, She feeds them Meal-worms and flies. I noticed that her enclosure was quite dry the last time I was there. Ive told her to mist it regularly.

I wish I could offer better advice on amphibian seizures.

My own are triggered by certain food additives, a specific frequency of flashing light and certain heavy metals as a result of a really entertaining Navy story.



What type of enclosure is the frog kept in? Plastic/glass/wood and screen?
I ask as there is a bit of research out on lab induced seizures in frogs using a bunch of chemicals I am unfamiliar with. They also used some chemicals that are commonly found in pressure treated wood, plywood and the wood of certain conifers.
