    Default Lack of appetite before shed, is this normal?

    I notice that sometimes my pyxie frog will stop eating for a day or so before she does her intensive shedding and shed eating process, is this normal behavior?

    This fairly normal frog behavior. They will either not eat the day before and the day of shedding or most of the time just the day of the shedding.

    Thank you Grif, yea she has started eating again, I just get nervous after that two month ordeal in which she refused to eat.

    There will be days when it will not feel like eating. Especially since it is near full grown or already there. As long as it does eat no worries. Don't be surprised if it digs in again and tries to aestivate. Aside from him being ill before trying to go through their natural cycle is normal.
