    He looks fine to me, mine goes in that position sometimes. He is always like that or sometimes? Are he able to stand right? I'll leave the saying to the experts, but if he is always like that theres a problem, is he eating fine and pooping?

    Lately she's been like that all the time, she can stand but kinda leans over. She's been eating and pooping fine. Also she can jump and catch prey, I took her out to feed her today and she was very active.

    Thanks for the reply!

    You're welcome bro, as i said i'm no expert, mine is still a baby, but try doing the honey bath, water arround 86F and some honey and put her in there, by what i understand is the only thing that you can do, but i'm not sure if it will help.
    Also, try to charge more in the calcium and D3 for a few days i would say. I would also make sure that the crickets, roaches, whatever you use, also eats some calcium and D3 themselfs too, so they can pass onto the frog. I believe that you shouldn't worry too much about that as by what i see she moves her paw fine no?
    Share a picture of her in the substrate, mine does that leaning where there's no substrat under and eventually one paw if more extended than other, but he's almost all the time normal, he doesn't stay like that for long.
    Shall the experts come and answer!
    Also you can bump the temperatures up a notch, i've mine at 83 so he metabolises better.
    Ps:Mine only borrows when digesting his food. Otherwise either he goes to the pool or under the plant.
    Also, are the plants real or fake ones?
    And how often do you clean him/change substrate?
    Also, inspect the under side of the frog to make sure there's no fungal infection or something. By what i read arround those are common, the underside should be all white and not red .
    Make sure you threat the water for chlorum, and i read somewhere about the MBD that bryce was talking:"Signs of the disorder include: droopy lower jaw, failure to grab prey, muscle twitching, listlessness, and backbone and pelvic deformities. You can treat MBD by consistently coating prey with calcium and vitamin D3. If the frog is having problems grabbing prey because its bones are too soft, you'll want to administer calcium + D3 with a syringe via the frog's mouth once every 1-2 days until the bones start to harden."
    But your pacman doesn't look to me to have any of this. Maybe he's just like that and likes to lean?
    Good luck

    I'm responding ages later, but this is actually virtually identical to the trouble I was having with my guy. I can't be 100% sure what ended up helping, but I started supplementing his food with that zoomed powdered food, with a bit of added calcium and a vitamin powder mixed in. It seems like due to previous diet issues he just wasn't getting enough calcium from dusting alone. That's just a theory on my part - one example isn't really good evidence. But I don't think it would hurt to try it either.
