Weird and scary

I noticed that there was all these small moving things in one corner of my frogs cage. I mean really small they almost look like worms. Im worried could they be parasites? Please help

the obvious thing to do is to wash out your tank completely. Use 10% chlorine solution and clean out and replace the entire substrate. Place your frog back in. And see what happens... Also, u may want to keep an eye out on ur frogs poo, make sure there r no worms etc. in it.

Keep us posted

It would be wise to find out what they are first, there is no sense in pulling apart a viv if you don’t have to, for all we know it could be something as simple as Springtails collecting around the frogs fecal matter.

well i cleaned it out, it i knida to late to see what that stuff was because i threw it away. Does that happen some times though. it just really freaked my out, i mean there were tones of these little things moving around in this one corner. i hope he doesn’t have parasites.
