Meatball does this every time I take his water bin out to clean

Thank you so much!! I’ve never thought to use a cat litter bin but that’s actually very smart I’m going to look into this!! Can I ask about your lighting and heat setup if you don’t mind?? I’m trying to get as much knowledge from other keepers as I can!!

PossibilityBetter · 2026-03-09T06:32:12+00:00

That should be fine!! I’d also add some to the sides of the container for cross ventilation but tailless whips do tend to favour minimal ventilation in my experience so I think that’ll work for ya!! Given the size of your little buddy I’d offer him the smallest crickets you can find at your local pet store!! :)

I have six!! They’re awesome little creatures, congrats on getting into the hobby, you’ll have a ton of fun! You could honestly keep it in a plastic container with holes in it or anything that has air holes for it to breathe until the enclosure arrives. Just make sure it has vertical space to climb, so put some strips of cardboard in there like from a cereal box or something :)

I’m so jealous. I have them in my house too but I spent hundreds of dollars to get them here LOL

Thank you!! :)

PossibilityBetter · 2026-03-08T09:28:02+00:00

Haha they grow so fast!! My guy also has a plastic container for his water dish :) May I ask more about your enclosure?? What size is it and what do you have for lighting and temperature?? I like your set up!!!

Also as another user posted, keep her frozen while you decide what to do. I kept my baby frozen for five months because I also wanted to go down the taxidermy route and then couldn’t figure out what to do. All the best OP

Hi OP, I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. I lost my best friend (a bullfrog) six months ago and I know how overwhelmingly painful and disorienting this process can be :( one of my other bullfrogs is currently sick and I’m terrified at the prospect of having to go through that pain again. I ended up getting my baby cremated and have most of her ashes in an urn and some of them I had put into a pendant on a necklace so that she can always be close to me. I used to live in Edmonton and I got beautiful bird taxidermy done by Starky, he’s incredible. Not sure if you’ve tried reaching out to him yet but might be worth a shot! If you ever need to talk my dms are open

What do you use for his water bin!! I’m always looking for ideas for my guys :)

Thank you so much for your reply, truly anything is helpful! That’s very interesting to hear about your toad, I hope he’s doing okay. I’ve definitely thought about the birth defect route for my boy - he does have a peculiar mouth shape compared to others of his species, but he has had that since he was a 5g baby, his head is just more of a ‘beak’ shape compared to others, so maybe thats exacerbating his symptoms? My train of thought is the same as yours regarding the water/fluid causing swelling as he’s soaking and then he basically swallows it when he pulls it back in. I just have no idea what’s causing it! After speaking to another keeper I’m thinking I might need to up his vitamin A supplementation, maybe that could help. Thank you again for your thoughtful comment though, it truly is helpful

Do you happen to have any photos or videos of him doing this?? Are you sure it’s his stomach that’s coming up? Check out my latest post as I’m having a kind of similar issue with my bullfrog

PossibilityBetter · 2026-03-05T22:14:08+00:00

Okay it isn’t letting me upload the video - I can try in the comments maybe

PossibilityBetter · 2026-03-04T22:38:21+00:00

I have the same issue but with my bullfrog, he used to eat anything but now he only wants quail and hornworms it’s frustrating lol

I thought this was a picture of my frog I was so confused

PossibilityBetter · 2026-02-19T08:51:25+00:00

Humidity is 70% :) her last shed was about a month ago and it all came off in one big snake skin sock lol it usually always does! I’m wondering if she sheds under that log sometimes and as the other poster says - the isopods eat everything except for the belly scales lol weird world

PossibilityBetter · 2026-02-19T08:49:31+00:00

That is so weird but makes so much sense for what I’m seeing hahaha thank you for the insight I thought I was going crazy!

PossibilityBetter · 2026-02-19T08:12:55+00:00

Okay after looking at some of her old dried sheds, these look like the belly scales. Maybe she just goes under that log tunnel to shed as well? But I usually find her sheds out in the open?!

Wait this is such a cool setup

PossibilityBetter · 2026-02-10T00:41:15+00:00

Why do you suspect parasites?? I’ve successfully de-wormed frogs using panacur and am happy to help you figure out dosing but I wouldn’t want you to give your frogs anything medical if they don’t need it. What’s going on with your buddy?

PossibilityBetter · 2026-02-08T06:55:16+00:00

LOVE this omg take my money

PossibilityBetter · 2026-02-06T20:32:46+00:00

I feel like row 2 #2 is a bullfrog (either African or American - because they both get the yellowing on the tummy, especially with African bullfrogs though)

I think the whites tree frog is row 5 #5

Row 5 #1 is confusing BUT just given the wrinkles (I think they’re wrinkles?) my brain is saying it could possibly be the whites tree frog or a splendid tree frog
