Help...My Pac Man Frog ate a rock...not a little rock..I have river gravel in the tank...its eating just fine..any suggestions?...should I bring it to the vet?

Yea thats not usually good.How big is the rock?If its the size of the frog it needs a vet.

Rocks not that big but I can see it when hes sitting..he moves just fine and eats normally..will he eventually some how regurgate it or will his stomach acids break it down?..thank you for your help

hers a pic

heres apic..hope it works

Definately need to have that looked at and go ahead and get the rocks out!

I would say to take it in to a vet (preferably a rep/herp specialist) and have him take a look. For now, WITHOUT FAIL, you MUST get him off of the gravel. I'm sure you will be doing this already but I really feel the need to drill this in.

Gravel = unhappy frog.

un-digested crickets...can any one help me out here?...the vet stated that his aquarium temp should be 80 degrees...its at about 76 degrees right now..does 4 degrees make a difference.I'm thinking a heating pad..anyone have any suggestions?..or could have I over fed him?...please help...I spent 142.00 bucks on him at the vet today...I like'em..hes really cool

Yes 4 degrees makes a difference I recommend at least 83 degrees no higher then 86.I use a 60 watt day glo zoo med bulb ( 6$ ) to heat my 10 gallon tank to 85 degrees.I don't recommend heating pad but others will because mine buries himself to escape heat not to get it.

Thankyou..will return the heat matt and get a light instead...thanx for your help..tanks about 81 degrees..moved it to a different area of the house closer to a heat source...thanx for the help
