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.
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.
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.
Just found a huge poop! Everything is good now.
