White tree frog may not be pooping?

[Feshax2x]

My white tree frog has been eating but I have not seen poop in like three days. He is not bloated. I need help on what to do.

Try a warm water soak. That helped mine.

How long do I let him soak?

[flybyferns]

soak time ---15-20 minutes.
Not too warm.
Make the temp of the water comfortable to your wrist.

What substrate do you have in his enclosure?
What is the temp of the enclosure?

Some photos of your frog will help us.

Actually, could you please answer these questions

1-size of enclosure
2-# on inhabitants - specifically ( if there is another frog ---size differences ?)
3-humidity
4-temp
5-water - type - for both misting and soaking dish
6-materials used for substrate
7-enclosure set up i.e. plants( live or artificial) wood, bark etc -how were things prepared prior to being put into the viv
8-main food source
9-vitamins and calcium ? ( how often )
10-lighting
11-what is, specifically, being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure
12-when is the last time he ate
13-have you found poop lately
14-a pic would be great ( including the frog ) any little cell phone pic is fine
15- how old is the frog
16-how long have you owned him
17- is the frog wild caught or captive bred
18- frog food- how often and if its diverse what other feeders are used as treats
19- about how often the frog is handled

I just tryed to put him in a container with warm water and he wont sit in it. I just fed him three crickets annd he ate them fine. I dont know the size of the tank exactlly. I can send pics of him and the enclosure. His temp rigjt now is 98 & his humidity is at 59. I did have another frwhite but he died a few days ago.

To answer your questions,

3-humidity right now its at 60
4-temp- its at 80
5-water - type - for both misting and soaking dish bottled water, and if not water from faucet but put a sub. in it that takes out the chlorine and metals
6-materials used for substrate- dont know what it is called
7-enclosure set up i.e. plants( live or artificial) wood, bark etc -how were things prepared prior to being put into the viv- i have plants and they are artifical.
8-main food source- small crickets
9-vitamins and calcium ? ( how often )- i was putting calcium powder on the crickets but it was killing them, also i put cricket food in with them and that also killed them.

11-what is, specifically, being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure- room temperature

Hi,

He looks ok.

If your frog has not pooped yet...he needs to soak.

Use a - 'clean' shallow container with a lid. ( ie a glad sandwich shape) ( like an 1 -1/2" deep)
Poke air holes in the top. ( create the air holes with a pointy object from the inside of the lid)
If you do it the other-way-around--- the holes will make sharp edges on the inside of the lid that could scrape his head.
Add just enough de-chlor water so it is not above his chin.
Put the frog in - and cover ; keeping him in the soak for 15- 20 min.
You can repeat this every day until he poops.

Don't feed him any meal worms?
Feed him small ( dusted) crickets- so he can digest them easily.

You could increase the temp a bit. ( 82-85 F)
