I just do what I can to help when I can. I am no expert by far and cannot be given credit for all the frogs that have been saved on this forum as there are other members that have helped in tandem with me in a lot of the posts here. Its the passion for these creatures that drives us all to help if we can. I thank you for your compliments.

So he didnt eat yesterday but he did poop. Very big like bigger than him!!! Then he started to run on the glass, is it possible he was afraid of his poop!?! Any way gonna feed very small dusted crickets tonight about 4, just drop them in like you said. Any thing else??

Lol!! They tend to let you know that they pooped by throwing a fit ans trying to get away from it. More than likely its instinctual to get away from their excrement because the odor may attract predators.

He's scared. Just let him be. You don't have any bright lights on do you? Especially any he can see?

[EagleWeaponX]

No. It's just been 5 days since he ate I mean I'm getting worried but your right me getting worried won't help anything.

He is scared. Just try and be calm and patient. Some do take longer to acclimate.

I hate to say this but how long can he last with out food

If he hasn't eaten for the last 5 days he may need to be force Fed when he goes over 8 days. I would go out and buy UNFLAVORED PEDIALYTE and Fluker's Repta-Boost so you already have it when needs be.

He has also started to make a clicking noise very loud. Thank you grif for all you did. Were on day 7 of his food strike. Tomorrow is force feeding. I dont know how hes gonna eat with his eyes closed. He will only open his eyes in water. Thank you very much grif if mayweather can pull through i ow it all to you. Even if he doesnt, I am still very gratful that you were here and took a week ot of your life to help me. Thank you, John.

Don't give up yet. the clicking is a don't bother me noise. you may have go soak him in a warm bath for a while. Almost sounds like he is trying to aestivate which you don't want. What are his enclosures conditions and I mean post pics of where everything is located and tell me how moist his substrate is and humidity level.

position of the temp and humidity gauges as well.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe its too cold or too dry and its trying to aestivate like grif is saying. My first week with my C. Cranwelli was relatively trouble free except my mistakes. I had the coir too dry and was under the impression the C. Cranwelli was active during the day not night which was where my feeding trouble came from. I was feeding at the wrong time. I added water and feed him when he is out not when I want. Hope your frog eats soon. Mine went like 5 days or so but he was aestivating due to too dry substrate. Fixed it and plopped him in water. He ate his casing and now is more regular. He pounded another B. Dubia roach tonight like a champ! His color is also changing. He is real yellow tonight not his limes green.

So his waterbowl is in the back of the cage in the corner, He likes to burrow in the middle. His coco fiber is moist. Temp is like 78 to 80. i cant tell humidity because mine broke and pet store doesnt have any in. But i spray it like 3-4 times a day. WHat is aestivate. right now is feeding what do i do grif. Were on day 8 of the food strike. BTW hes in an exo terra kritter keeper.

I need to see what it looks like. take the temp to 82° during the day and stay at 78° at night. Something isn't right. I'm still unsure what is wrong.

Did you go buy the Repta-Aid(Repta-Boost) and UNFLAVORED PEDIALYTE?

[EagleWeaponX]

yes i bought it. Hear me out. What if i did a pedialyte soak and then fed him. Give him a boost to eat i think he needs it. I am going to get food in him somehow today

[EagleWeaponX]

I think its too dry in his tank. My fault one side is dry the other is wet. What can i do to fix this.

[GrifTheGreat]

You should never have a dry area at all. Warm side and Cool side. Substrate should always be moist. Give him a Pedialyte soak and go ahead and give him a dose of the Repta-Aid(Repta-Boost).
