African Clawed Frog Pooping Out Whole Undigested Waxworm

[slaky86]

Like the title says, my ACF is pooping out a whole undigested waxworm. Is he sick or is this what they do when they overeat?

It could be an over eating thing or there is something very wrong with his digestive track tbh I would look for a vets that deal with tropical animals

How much are u feeding him? And how big is he?

 

[slaky86]

Im feeding him once a day or every other day with one "fly worm", not "wax worm". Frog is the size of a half of index finger.

Can you tell us his size in an actual measurement? That doesn't help with description as finger sizes vary from person to person

Agreed

Op would you say it was about 1.5" long?

Move to bloodworm and see how it cooed with that

+1 or try meal worm in stead they are about the same size as bloodworms but have more fat in them then bloodworm and the shell isn't as hard either

I have fed meal worms to my hamsters they love them it's so funny to watch them chase a worm that dsnt move more then 0.001mph lol

I recommend you feed young frogs HBH frog and tadpole bites and adults Reptomin sticks - - they are much more balanced.

Treat/mix up the diet with frozen bloodworms (thawed before feeding obviously)
