OMG HELP Ted!!!

[Grimm]

It actually seems to be helping so far....It may be a tad smaller then in the picture rite now. In an hour or so hopefully it gets down to a size where I can help push it back in. How do you suggest I go about pushing it in?? Do I try holding him down gently with one hand and use a finger? I have latex gloves if I need them aswell.

Im gonna head to the pet shop and get some smaller crickets aswell... There are uneaten crickets inside the viv rite now so maybe he has been avoiding them because of their size.

Yes that is possible i feed mine the small crickets. But i would suggest not helping push it back in. Only as a extreme last resort. It should just suck back in naturally and be ok hopefully!

Ok Ill keep him in the water for another hour. If it hasnt fully retracted itself should I keep him in or just transfer him into a larger tupperware with moist paper towel? I might just take a few more clippings from fresh leaves and place them inside the tupperware also.

[Calebrez]

make a new solution for him then place him in the new solution then place him in a larger tupperware container with some leaves would be good.

[Calebrez]

It will not hurt him to stay in the solution so if he chooses to stay in it or get out will be his choice lol

[Grimm]

Larger tupperware with the new solution...Or after he soaks in it for a while? I'm assuming with the new solution...

Edit: Ok just got the second post...Ill do that. Thanks a MIL!

[Calebrez]

haha sorry if you have a tupperware big enough place some new solution in a smaller container with Ted in it the place him and the small container into the larger ones. Then you could place some leaves in there. If he decides to get out he can. Does that make sense? lol its been a long day sorry :b

[Grimm]

Haha yeah gotcha! Thanks again. I just cut up a bunch of fresh leaves for him so hopefully he wont be too stressed all night and tomorrow in the small tupperware.

I'll be waking up much earlier then usual before work tomorrow so I can see how he is doing. Hopefully he heals himself, if not I will be gently helping the prolaps back in.

Fingers crossed...Knock on wood...Salt over the shoulder...All that stuff lol

[Calebrez]

You are very welcome keep me posted to how he is doing. I will also keep my fingers crossed for you lol

I'd wait at least another full day before you try to push it back in. There was a really good sticky thread about this, please look for it (it's in one of the frog forums, maybe this one). If you push it back in, you could hurt him, or cause a serious infection.
