    If it happens when I'm watching you better expect some close up, explicit, wide angle, narrow angle, inside shots, scratch and sniffs, video, 3D video, you name it type pictures!!!! haha. Ya, I am going to need to document this bad boy. Hopefully she just ****s it out and is ok though. I am real worried still about her. Shes a bad *** frog and has alot of character. I'm going to take her to the vet if she shows any signs of septisemia (probably spelled wrong) or unhealthyness. She is still a wiley little bugger. She seems really hungry, tries to bite me when I massage her, jumps away when I go to get her out etc.

    If she's getting annoyed at you that's a good sign. Especially in a fairly sedentary animal like a Pac.

    After she goes, try feeding just nightcrawlers for a little while. They digest better than any other prey, and are good for frogs prone to impaction. Do you tong-feed? When mine was still hunting her own roaches, she would end up missing and eating a LOT of cocofiber. It ended up with her being very impacted. Check the poo and see what the cocofiber-to-roach ratio looks like. That might be your problem.

    It might be good to continue doing unmedicated soaks daily for a little while after she passes the impaction. If it has gotten to a point that they are starting to go septic from the backup, this will keep them urinating and passing the toxins. Watch for bloating as that's a sign of toxins building up in the system.

    Alright, just got home from work and Rhino seems a little more symmetrical today. I'm gonna get a warm bath ready and search through her substrate while she's soaking to see if she did the deed.

    She didn't stay in the water since I moved it out from under the light.

    She does tong feed. She eats earth worms in her water dish.

    Alright, last update tonight. No poo yet. Her bulge on the right has gotten a little smaller. The lumps on the left have moved a little closer to the vent.
    Night folks.
