    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Saw my frog today and he has a severe rectal prolapse. His bedding is the fine crushed coco fiber and he eats dusted crickets. Was super healthy, I just think he was trying to take an oversized crap. Tried warm water and honey but it hasn't done anything. Looks really swollen. Not sure what to do

Poor guy, I'm very sorry to see that. I hope that he recovers for you.

I don't know a thing about prep H for small amphibians, so I can't help you there, but I will say that Dr. Greek is probably your best bet for emergency herp care in Orange county. http://gavh.net/articles If this happened to me, I think I'd just stick with the sugar solution until I can call first thing in the morning. Definitely keep him off his coco mulch until he's better.

Wishing him a full and speedy recovery!
 
A rectal prolapse is something only a veterinarian can resolve permanently, ive seen people try sugar water, prep h, etc..... only works temporarely. This is a medical emergency!
