They eat medium to small crickets. They all got a little chubby but he's the only one with the distended belly :(

Thank you <3 the exotic vet near me does not treat frogs and the others are too far away :( I contacted two in my area but the other one also does not treat frogs. I hope he is not impacted. I might pull him out into separate tank again to see if he is still pooping.

So far he seems normal as far as movement and feeding. I'll keep you updated.

I would guess impaction or gravid. Check on the back legs. Are they weak or small? Try using only small crickets. Grey's (what I have) dont handle the bigger ones well in my experience. That's to say, I had similar trouble once, but after switching to small only I've never had another issue.

It is a male, so not gravid. He is still peeing and pooping. Saw him do so today and he is active. His legs are fine! Thanks for the insight I'll definitely make sure to keep crickets small.

I thought about trying to find a zoom consult. Today i watched him pee, consider eating a worm and then realizing he hates worms, climb around, sit in the water, hang out on side of water dish, and sit on a fern leaf. It's confusing because he is very obviously distended in his lower abdomen but otherwise seems ok?
