hello all,

just looking for a bit help. i currently have 4 budgetts frogs that are doing fine apart from one that seems to have an air bubble or something that is stopping it from sinking. any ideas of how to treat or what it is?? it only seems to be on one side and doesn't switch to the other.

?????

Place the affected animal in a container of shallow water where it can touch the bottom and support itself without the hassle of have to sink or swim down. Sometimes they can get stressed by not being able to touch the bottom and placing it in a shallow water enviornment where it can sit with it's eyes and nostrils protruding can help. Try that and continue with regular feedings; perhaps it will pass the air?
