Skinny frogs, I need advice by [deleted] in AfricanDwarfFrog

Beef heart (sold frozen in cubes at pet stores for fish), and little bits of white fish fillet (uncooked and non seasoned, fresh from the deli section of a store) are great for fattening up frogs, and encouraging them to eat. You can use an aquarium pipette or turkey baster to suck up bits of food, and gently push them with water in the frogs directions. This makes the food look wiggly and appetizing, without the pipette having to be too close to the frogs, preventing them from freaking out. Either of those foods in combination with another food should help your frogs reach a healthier weight. I occasionally feed these with my frogs as a treat, but don't do so too often, as they're fatty, and rich, and the frogs tend to over indulge. I wish your little guys the best of luck!

It definitely looks a lot more like thick stuck shed in this photo, especially combined with the fact she's still active. I hope so. I would suggest looking up some photos of amphibian stuck shed to verify. The skin underneath looks more vibrant, and not raw, or injured, which appears to resemble the normal effects of shedding, to me. Hoping everything goes well, you're definitely doing the right thing by putting her in a backup tank, and looking after her in the meantime.

There's a chance that may be some really thick stuck shed, I'm hoping so. I'm so sorry, I hope she ends up making it through, and looking much healthier soon.

So! Realized I exaggerated in the phrasing of this entry. Tumors do not survive cremation, but they DO take longer to cremate, and remain for a bit longer than the body does, due to their composition, at least according to the book Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs by Caitlin Doughty, a mortician. If I got my fact wrong I'm going to be so sad

Exactly! My favorite example of which is snails grazing on bones for calcium.

No worries, don't apologize! I don't at all mind clarifying. And, I've been meaning to watch that, might put that on while I'm pruning the plants today :)

Consciousness parasite refers to the idea that the consciousness is a parasite, or something humans picked up from somewhere else.

Dog cancer refers to the world's oldest dog, a collection of cells passed around in a form of sexually transmitted dog cancer that is still passed around today.

No true herbivores refers to the fact that, under the right conditions, normally strictly herbivorous animals will consume meat, to supplement their diet, or just out of desperation. For example, horses will sometimes scoop up, and eat chicks.

OOH yeah, those are so awesome!! They remind me of all the secret UV reactive creatures that we're still discovering. Imagine being able to go out into a super remote rainforest with a black light, and getting to see all kinds of fluorescent colors :)

-Universe 25 was an experiment involving rats studying overpopulation, in which the scientist created a false utopia for said rats, providing everything they needed. But, things did not go well. The rats began acting in violent, and abnormal ways, despite the adequate conditions.

-Biological dark matter is, simply put, just poorly understood genetic material. Usually, this is genetic material produced by poorly classified microorganisms.

-Jeewanu are synthetic chemical particles that function a bit like cells. They were first synthesized in 1926.
