Default Molting Maybe?

Did a search, came up with nothing.

Any ideas? Anyone seen a blob of slime on their frogs butt before? Will he take it off him/herself? should I wipe it off?

Keywords for search!
Slime, Slimey, Goo, Gooey, Butt, Bum, Rump, Posterior, backside, cloaca
Is that normal? I've never heard of that happening! Mayb he/she is molting, cause frogs dont shed... they molt.

You probably were doing the right thing! Mayb it isn't a shed/molt! Forget that! That is definately not a shed. Go on google and see if thats what a shed lookks like on a frog. It may help.

I'm sorry, I missed the posts again...

The eco-earth will certainly work. You can even use crappy old potting soil as long as it doesn't have any chemicals added to it.

Good luck with it. If you have any more questions about the crickets, feel free to ask in the Viv-Feeders forum.
