    Default Not able to find poop

    I havent found poop in my frog cage for almost 3 days now. The problem is when i recently changed the habitat, i didn't have a mister at the time. I had to pour water, but the environment got muddy, and still is muddy. The frog might have pooped but i am not able to see it. How do i know if my frog pooped or not?

    When they poop, you tend to know it--it tends to look very large for your frog's size and is often encased in a slimy coating. Some frogs are polite enough to leave it on top of their substrate, which makes it easy to pick out and get out of the cage, but unfortunately some of them like to bury it or it falls underneath when they burrow in a new spot--you might have to put on some gloves and go digging.

    Also, if you recently changed the habitat, your frog might not be eating and therefore not pooping because he's stressed out.

    Muddy substrate is not good. Its supposed to be moist or heavily damp not mud.

    Also your frog might not have pooped yet. Average for babies and juveniles is daily to every 3 days depending on how much they eat.

    My frog has been eating everyday. From the looks of it the frog does not look stressed out.

    The muddy is becoming less muddy now, but it is starting to become a less muddy now. Could it be that in the new environment the frog hasn't pooped because of that.

    I've had my pacmans for a month now and they've only pooped in their substrate once.. all the others times it's in their water bowl. I tend to put them in it every other night to encourage them to use the bathroom and they usually would.

    If your substrate is muddy and you have already been told it is not good for the frog.......change it out.
    Put down fresh substrate. Muddy stuff promotes the growth of mold & bacteria.
    As for the poop...it is possible that the frog stepped on it and it is now just mush mixed in with the mud.

    Not sure if someone said this already, but they tend to change a spot after they poop. I mean, I wouldn't want to sit in my poop, either.

    okay, i think i may have found a small poop today, though i saw a lump of my frog, and before i was feeding him it looked like he/she was trying to excrete poop out of their system. I dont know weather i should go a day without food in order to help the poop to go through the system.
