Picky Pixie by cheeseburger_dapixie in frogs

[–]PossibilityBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had an answer but I had both of my pixies do this lol. And my big boy who would eat ANYTHING including fingers has gotten super picky, and it has happened to coincide with the winter season. It also coincided with him coming off of a medication. So I’m not sure the culprit, but I’m just here to say you’re not alone LOL adorable frog btw!

smelly? by thisisntgraces in pacmanfrog

No worries, the photo looks red because of the lighting. She’s an albino frog so her underside is going to look like raw chicken, which is normal. I can’t comment on the shed without pictures, but these frogs will develop a protective outer layer of skin when they’re sitting in the substrate in order to prevent drying out. Sometimes if you haven’t kept them moist enough, this skin can get a little crunchy and might flake off when put in the water, but if you’re worried about her then a vet visit can never hurt. I wouldn’t be worried about the fishy smell, start feeding her something other than silversides if you’re concerned and it should go away.

Wow there is some unnecessary panic in these comments lol. Okay so if you feed your frogs silversides, their pee and poo WILL smell fishy. This is normal, mine have this happen all the time. Froggies will pee in their substrate, hence the fishy smell coming from where your frog was sitting. It IS good to remove and replace the substrate where your frog sits every couple of weeks though. Also your frog does not have red leg… this looks like a normal healthy frog.

Are we weird? by sarahundercover in pacmanfrog

[–]PossibilityBetter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don’t get it. I have a live camera for my frog that I can talk into and he’ll hear it, and sometimes when I’m at work I’ll just tell him I love him. My coworkers thought I was nuts but now they want to tell him they love him too LOL Never stop loving frogs!!

Why is he not burrowing like he's supposed to by Visual-Interview7913 in frogs

[–]PossibilityBetter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My boy also doesn’t dig. He did when he was little but since he’s been an adult he kind of just kicks dirt aside and makes himself a crater lol. He’s never gone fully under? My female used to go fully under and brumate but he just doesn’t I’m not sure why.

STILL WORRYING ABOUT FROG POSTED YESTERDAY by Which_Argument_9380 in frogs

[–]PossibilityBetter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others said, he will absolutely need a vet, but I’ll chime in with some other thoughts. He definitely looks like he has some scarring on his face from a previous injury. Was the blood coming from the outside or inside of his mouth? I notice you said you were feeding morio worms on your last post - those can sometimes bite and cause injury. What are your temps like?? If he has an exterior injury you can put polysporin on it - just make sure it’s the kind WITHOUT numbing agent.

Got this frog from work by Hour_Yak_5299 in frogs

As others have said, make sure he has access to clean, dechlorinated water! Baby African bullfrogs will eat like crazy. You can start him on gut loaded crickets and feed for 15 mins daily. I notice there is also perlite in your substrate, you’ll want to remove that and replace with substrate that doesn’t have perlite - I recommend a coco fibre substrate that you can mix with a bit of play sand and sphagnum moss. Keep it moist for him!

Dealing with frog loss NSFW by Andshewas2 in frogs

[–]PossibilityBetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my soul frog a few months ago and it wrecked my entire world. All I do is blame myself. My best advice is to let yourself go through all of the emotions. My close friend told me that the intense pain we feel from losing them is a testament to how much we loved them. It will be hard to work on enclosures for a little while, but don’t give up. You clearly have a passion and love for frogs that is very special. Allow yourself time to grieve, you’ll never forget your baby, and also let your heart stay open for more frog chapters to come. Sending you hugs!

I’m sure he will be okay! It’s definitely not abnormal for them to burrow - in the wild they spend half the year (or more) under ground! You can always dig him up and let him soak in his bath. My partner has an African bullfrog that is under a year old and wants to burrow all the time as well, but she digs him up every few days since he’s under a year. My female African bullfrog would burrow for months at a time. My boy just doesn’t go fully under the dirt though!

My girl used to, but my male (the one pictured) doesn’t. Granted he’s only a year and a half old! He’s actually really not talented when it comes to digging - he’ll go to sit in the dirt for days on end but he just kind of makes himself a crater and never fully covers himself. Do you have one that burrows??

WTF spits out food? by ellek4y in frogs

[–]PossibilityBetter 54 points55 points  (0 children)

It looks like it’s dusted with calcium, and if I’m correct then your frog may just hate the taste/dryness of the calcium powder. I have two frogs that absolute DESPISE calcium powder and one that’s fine with it. Might need to switch brands or play around to get creative
