It is usually much easier to tube feed with a balanced liquid supplement as this way it is administered directly to the stomach of the frog bypassing the frog's ability to refuse the food.



from a different post



snip "If there is a local vet that does herps, you may want to take the frog into for a checkup. If there is some major issue like an impaction then it is a critical life threatening emergency.



Here is a site that lists herp vets by state

http://www.arav.org/USMembers.htm so you can see if there is one near you.



Until you talk to a vet, I suggest soaking the frog in about 1/2 inch of dechlorinated tap water that is between 78-80 F for at least several hours.

If there is a small impaction this can help the frog pass the smaller obstruction. Large obstructions may need to be surgically removed (if this is indeed the cause).



Some times the exposure to the warmer temperatures will stimulate an inappetant frog to begin feeding again. "endsnip
