    Default WTF doesn't eat a lot

    Since last week I own two WTFs. One of them eats quite happily but the other doesn't seem that interested in food. I've seen it eat two crickets on the first day, but I cannot confirm any other meals.

    I found stool of which I think it's his (or hers) and it looked ok, dry with some recognisable parts of cricket (wings).

    The temperature in the coldest corner is between 19 Celsius (66 Fahrenheit) and 25 Celsius (77 Fahrenheit). The humidity in that corner is high (>90%) but I've not seen any droplets forming on the glass anywhere so I guess it's quite a bit lower in the rest of the tank.

    What do you think? Should I worry or just keep an eye on him?

    The one in the front is the one which doesn't eat that much.

    Keep the cool side about mid to high 70s and basking spot mid 80s, low 70s to mid 60s at night. Wouldn't go over 70% or low but some moisture, 90 is far too high and considered wet. Use 5%+ UVB and low wattage heat lamp for basking spot. Keep an eye.

    90% humidity is a bit high, you might want to raise the lower end of the temp, get it up to 70 degrees F.
    Not wanting to eat is a little worrying. Is the one that doesn't eat shy or unusually nervous around you? If so it might just be stress.

    Watch and see if that frog spends all its time soaking and doesn't get out of the water bowl. That might be a sign of trouble.

    Quite sure the frog does eat now. It definitely doesn't soak an exteme amount of time. Frog does seem somewhat shy. During the day they're just lazy... They'll rather wait to eat during the night.
