    Default Omg Frog was on his Back!!!!

    I'm freaked out and worrying that I might have a dying frog on my hands! I went outside for a few minutes to sweep the concrete and when I returned my eyes wandered over to my frog and I saw what looked like a blob of white in the water dish. I walked a few steps over and saw that my frog was on its back so rushed forward, yanked the lid from his cage off and gently tapped him on his side, he rolled over and hopped away. Please don't tell me that my frog, who has been doing excellent (feeding (Meal Worms, crickets and Wax Worms every night), humidity is correct (80%) as is temperature (80-82 degrees)) is heading down the path to Froggie Heaven.

    My frog used to flip over constantly and still does frog time to time. It may be something or it may be nothing. If he is still small I wouldn't worry too much because they tend to be clumsy.

    It completely freaked me out! I mean to walk in and see that... since I seen that I can't stop glancing over at him. He's near 2 inches wide and long. I did just take some poo from his cage could I of stressed him out after taking the poo out?

    If it's eating well and regularly then don't worry too much.

    Whenever mine flips over it seems to be because he is trying to hop away from me and hops to far or fast and ends up on his back, or it could be a fear response.

    Only horned frog that ever flipped on it's back in my care passed away a week or two later. In my opinion a healthy frog should have no problem righting itself back if it did accidentally flipped on it's back.

    My frog hasn't flipped over again. I don't think I got a wink of sleep as I was going back and forth between my frogs cage and my bed about every 30 or so minutes to check up on him. There seems to be a cricket missing from his cage so hopefully he ate a cricket last night (about time too, he's been off of his crickets lately)
