    Default Chubby frog not eating well

    I have a chubby frog/asian bullfrog. All I've read about them is that they are voracious eaters but my little guy isnt. He'll only eat a small cricket or two every week. He's gone a few weeks without eating before. Is there something that could be wrong with him to cause this?
    I take him out and feed him so he doesnt eat his dirt.

    How warm are you keeping him? These frogs like it on the warm and humid side of things.

    our apartment is usually between 76 and 78. and his little enclosure usually stays around the high 70s or low 80s. He's kept moist.
    They pet store I bought him from deworms and tests for parasites and things before they sell their frogs.
    Should I still try and get him dewormed?
    I just dont want him to die.

    I would take him to the vet for a deworming/check up.

    Pet shops tell you what you want to hear in general. Chubbies should be really really greedy things.
