    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.
