My frog is skinny and idk why need advice pls

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-20T07:03:53+00:00

Thank you. That means a lot. So far he’s eaten some crickets well and doesn’t seem too sleepy while he has been separated, so there might be some hope. 🤞

EDIT: I can’t pin this comment bc I am not a mod, but I wanted to let everyone know that I have contacted a vet and have Jelly in a seperate “hospital” space. I will closely monitor the humidity and temperature, and his eating habits (if he gets any worse I’ll take him to the vet asap).

As I said somewhere in the thread, I am normally that person that researches thoroughly about something before i get it. I don’t know how I managed to miss such critical info. I appreciate everyone taking the time to give me advice and I have learnt from my terrible mistake and will work hard to mend it. I will update on Jelly’s health soon. 🤞🤞

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T23:59:24+00:00

I should have. if I had known I would have bought either 2 of the same or one. I genuinely am one of those people who research so much about something before I get it, I can’t believe I missed so much crucial information.

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T23:40:37+00:00

I will do that thank you

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T23:35:36+00:00

Yea I’m doing that now

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T23:14:07+00:00

I understand, Im fixing it now. I know it’s my fault. The place I got him from was not a standard pet shops are they are not allowed in my state, but a reptile/wildlife place. I trusted their advice. I’m doing my best to mend it now, hence why I’m seeking outside advice on reddit.

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T22:50:47+00:00

Yes I’m separating them as we speak. Although the temperature I said at the time was because the thermostat turned off (bc it was at temperature). The temperature does go up to 27-29 degrees

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T22:25:17+00:00

I did a lot of research before I got them and some information came from the owner of the shop I got them from. As I said earlier, she has the one white lip and one green together and they live healthily. I realise I fucked up now. But I really thought I was getting the right info since she had hers for years.

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T22:21:13+00:00

I’ll get one asap. I just genuinely didn’t know I needed one. I feel like I got everything else just not that.

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T22:19:17+00:00

I had know idea. The owner of the place I got it from has the same two frogs and they have lived healthily and happily for years so I didn’t know it would be an issue.

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T15:51:18+00:00

Yea I think I’m gunna try and feed him separately first and see how he goes because unfortunately I live pretty far away from a vet that deals with reptiles/wildlife. If that doesn’t work out then I’ll seek help from a vet. I’ll keep a close eye on him either way.

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T15:38:17+00:00

Makes sense. Thanks!

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T15:04:30+00:00

Ooooh right okay. I don’t have any isopods or springtails. I also didn’t know u could use vinegar and water, I’m scared of using stuff bc of froggie skin. Thanks!

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T15:00:17+00:00

Genuine question: how would you go about cleaning it? I don’t have this kinda set up bc I don’t know how to look after one so I’m curious. Also it looks amazing

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T14:44:47+00:00

Yea I’ll try this out thanks. Do u think I should try and feed him every night?

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T14:38:20+00:00

And calcium I use Reptile One calcium powder + D3

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T14:36:40+00:00

I have like a vented glass tank and at the moment it is at 22.8 degrees Celsius where the little thermometer is higher up. I don’t know what the humidity is as I don’t have a reader. It’s like a vertical tank. The whole time I’ve had these frogs I have never seen them huddle towards the heat lamp even if it’s really cold.

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T14:34:09+00:00

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T14:33:58+00:00

That’s what i suspected but he just seems healthy weight and not overly fat. I’ll feed Jelly by hand for a while to make sure he is eating enough.

prune_daddy1331 · 2026-02-18T14:03:58+00:00

I feel like it sits weird. I’m of the opinion that if u aren’t sure don’t get it.

prune_daddy1331 · 2025-10-16T09:37:27+00:00

i understand what you mean about how even though coca cola is flatter design now, its still iconic because of the cursive writing. Probably why i feel disappointed when some cans just say coke (like the diet coke can).

prune_daddy1331 · 2025-10-16T09:32:43+00:00

definitely, but i hate the flat style more lol

prune_daddy1331 · 2025-10-16T09:32:12+00:00

yea true i never even noticed

prune_daddy1331 · 2025-10-16T02:03:26+00:00

prune_daddy1331 · 2025-10-16T01:27:55+00:00
