What are your care conditions ? (Temp, humidity...etc...).

is your frog afraid and tries to move away when you try to take it in one hand or is it completely unmoving ?

Sounds like parasites. Stress can also cause this, but since its so frequent. I'm gunna say parasites. Probably worms. I would seek out a vet that treats amphibians and give them a stool sample to have tested.

ya i think so to (the temp is 80 fr the hum is 80% also)

to answer the question if he runs or stays put he runs when i try to touch

Does she eat normally? Any noticable weight loss? Temps are fine. Humidity too. Stress might make the frog poop due to the responce of fear, but 4 times a day is too much. She will become dehydrated and lose weight. The sooner she gets treatment the better. Keep a close eye on her. Stool sample tesets don't take long so you can get same day results if you drop a sample off at most herp vets.

Keep us posted.

yes she eats well i have had her for just 3 weeks so not to much background on her and she has gained a little weight but she was under feed when i got her so she could still get some weight lose latter i soak her every day now because she is pooping so much i dont want her to get dehydrated my wife and i live there are no herp vets at all but she has been on a antiparasite drug for to days now and i have seen a little improvment i just wanted some others thoughts and you have all been very helpful

[GrifTheGreat]

Hopefully she will be rid of the parasites and recover from them fully.

What medication, dosing and treatment schedule are you using?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the frog does not have parasites. Baby ABF's deficate frequently, mine might poo 2-3 times a day, I feed daily so they are constantly digesting. I would switch the frog over to primary earthworms. I do not like the idea of feeding the frog mice @ the size it is. Crickets may not be too bad, especially if you are feeding on coco earth , aka coco fiber , may add some roughage to the yooung frogs digestive tract.

i use a mixe of (Febendazole) and (Metronidazole) 3 days on 3 days off
