i woke up this morning like every normal day. took the dog out, went to the bathroom when i came back i notice a black spot on the floor my little clawed frog was on the floor completely dry and covered with dog hair and dust so i took it and check it (it wasnt moving) as i was about to put her to rest she start moving a little bit. now she is in a little cup (25% fresh water 75% aquarium water) i already cleaned her now what should i do to help her !!!
tl;dr : frog out of water frog dry frog alive want to save frog help
she is moving a little bit when i poke her but she didnt wanted to eat
oh and i'm french so my english might be bad
Keep the frog in fresh, clean water and keep the water shallow enough so the frog can breath but keep all of its body submerged.
The frog sounds very dehydrated but it may still recover. Do not try to feed the frog yet (they cannot properly digest food if dehydrated).
If the frog is starting to move, that is a good sign. I would just give this frog rest and time to recover.
when should i put it back in the main aquarium (its moving a little bit but she is turning red)
Can you post some pics? I would not add the frog back until it becomes very active.
The discoloration is concerning though.
Oh okay this is a very small froglet. How long as he out?
If you can get the water a bit lower that may help so he can use his energy to recover rather than struggling to get air.
He does not look too bad from the picture. I would just make it so he can get air easily and rest and he -should- be okay.
aight thanks alot man he was out for atleast an hour how dry he was now hes going beter :P thanks again
Not a problem. A single hour to get out of the water isn't a grave danger for these frogs, if it were 12+ hours he would be in the danger zone but an hour? Probably mildly dehydrated at best.
I once had a clawed frog out of the water for several hours (my house had no carpet luckily) and I found him laying under my recliner and tossed him back in the tank and he was fine. If he were dried out and listless I would have followed the advice I had provided you earlier though.
