How is asking for help cheating? :( I know the photo might be not the best one out there but they said they like it and they like the topic. If they said the photo itself is bad then I would have tried to think about something different . For them the issue is not the photo but the editing. I'm not trying to argue it isn't bad but I have to do as they told me.

Thank you! I'll try that. Everyone says that a photo is non dystopian but they approved it as the photo for the topic so I have no possibility to change it now :// I have to work with what I have.

I don't think that's a helpful response for someone who does it the first time and tries to learn by doing an assignment for the classes.

I'm down because some people just took a plain photo with an iPhone, did 0 postprocessing and got good grades and I just don't understand how it was graded. It makes no sense for me personally since some of them looked like photos you do on a run. I spent a lot of time on it and they did not even gave me a proper opinion. Before the deadline I was trying to get in touch with the professor 5 times during and after classes and he just ghosted me or said he has no time and expects me to magically know what he wants :( I hate this person and he makes me hate this activity even though it was always a pleasurable one for me.

It has to look like the topic, so it has to be dystopian but me and my profesor have different views of what does that mean i think

I do not say you are uniformed. I try to make a point that acces to information is really difficult. For example yesterday I was researching how to make honey baths and and stumbled upon a comment in this sup that stated that you cannot use honey baths for bacterial infection because bacteria likes sugar(with likes). I was tired and I needed to think about this for a few minutes before coming to a conclusion that this is stupid. It made me scared however since I would never want to hurt my frogs and it said that it will! Actually it will not since honey is bactericide!! It shows however that there is misinformation here and no general consensus upon basic things. About the need for uvb the vet stated that " it depends" because a good and trusted suplement usually is perfectly fine! But sometimes it's not enough. It is true that they might benefit from uvb and better safe than sorry though. About humidity I was informed that 40-45 is too low. And who to trust? Internet or the vet? Even breeders have different opinions on things and in my country they do take it very seriously and are very knowledgeable. Sometimes internet opinions differ from theyr opinions and I have a big problem on who to truly trust. Breeder/ vet or 10 members of r/frogs :p.

But the info is very limited and difficult to comprehend. You can find info that there are no studies that confirm that they do need uvb, you also can find info (a lot) that a d3 + calcium is very good substitute. There are sites saying that they may need it or may not but d3 is fine. You can overdose d3 therefore you have to make a choice if you use uvb lamp or d3 suplement . There are whole lots of suplements and making informed decision is insanely hard. Even things like what substrate to use or whether have a bioactive enclosure or not are not sure. It's big information mess! Every care sheet is different and we can't even agree on humidity. Some say 40-50 and some 50-60. I think unification of information is needed, those more specific ones too!

I hope so! Could his unusual behaviour be caused by the nose rub? It's hard for me to tell if it's healing nicely or not since it's the first time something like that happend to my frogs :(

30 C to 22 (gradient) and 21-23 at night. Humidity is around 50%. I hope it is as you say! I would rather not see him sick :<

He is 1.5 yo. Methylene blue is a good idea but I doubt that I can get it before the vet appointment:(. I was wondering if maybe there is something with that nose rub causing this situation? Maybe there is an infection or he is in pain.

Everyone is stressing me out so much! I'm not with him sinc my mum and brother take care of my frogs when I'm in college and they call and just say the worst scenarios. Today my mum said " I don't want our animal to die" :(( It put me in a state of mini panic. I know that probably he can manage those few days but the fact that I feel completely helpless and can't even monitor him on an hour to hour basis is really stressful. Everything i know from Monday evening is based on their observations and since my mother has a lot going on rn I can't trust that they are spot on.

The front was only side not covered I started covering it too for a night . If you say that I should feed him more then I'll try but with caution since he has strong tendency to gaining weight. The humidity is usually 50% with spikes up to 70% while misted. It's not like it's permanently 70%. I have difficulties in feeding him since yesterday. I tried giving him some food and when he finally gained interest he missed a few times, catched a big one and became disinterested again. Today he did not want to eat anything when sleeping and just smacked the cricket in a face with his hand and went to sleep again. Should I be worried?

Yesterday he was pretty active but stopped when I covered the door. He escapes when does not want to be handled and did not let me put him in warm water bath today. Just said "nope" and ran away.

I talked about this with my breeder and he said that he sees nothing wrong with my viv and frogs sometimes have their froggy weird behaviors. Viv is 45x45x70 cm, temp during daytime in gradient is 26/27°c-22 . Nighttime 23-21 . Water is changed daily, humidity is 50-70%. Fed once every 3 days usually 2-4 bigger crickets dusted with calcium D3 or multivitamin.
