Why is my African bullfrog lethargic with strange yellow poop?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Exotic | Unknown - Exotic | Female | unspayed

Hello, I have a African bullfrog that has been acting extremely lethargic lately. He no longer burrows into his substrate and barely moves. He has supplemental heat and his humidity is kept at around 60-70% constantly and has access to spring water. Recently his excrement has been an odd yellowish color and of a extraordinary shape. Any ideas on what could be wrong and what I can do would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Landon

You'll want to visit your local Veterinarian as soon as possible. Bubba may be experiencing symptoms of bacterial overgrowth and digestive discomfort. Be sure to offer plenty of food and water and monitor the amount he's eating daily. This will be important information to pass along.
