HELP. Something is seriously wrong with my ACF

[adivizio]

Thank you! I'll let you know what happens. Also quick question. What could have caused this? I had been feeding him feeder crickets and worms and there is no gravel or substrate in the tank for him to have eaten.

There can be several issues that can cause a prolapse, typically a stool was too big or too hard for the frog to pass normally, it could be diet as well, I'm not sure how an aquatic frog can handle crickets, try feeding it night-crawlers which are much more nutritionally beneficial, and easier for it to eat and digest. The other cause may be parasites, but that can only be determined by you either seeing one, or taking a fresh stool to a vet to examine

Thanks. I'm rather new to aquatic frogs, this is my first and I had read a few places that the feeder crickets were a good option. I had been feeding him the crickets for a few months now and this is the first sign of trouble I've had. Just to be on the safe side I'll switch to night crawlers when I get this resolved. I tried a soak in the sugar solution like you recommended for 2-3 hours and it doesn't appear to have improved. So at this point should I try it again or am I to the point where I need to find a vet? Again thanks for your help.

I would try again, but if you still don't see any improvement, look for a vet to correct the problem. I hope the little guy pulls through!
