My Whites tree frog hasn't been eating a lot lately, and I'm a bit worried. I've had him about a year, and got him as a little guy (a little under an inch long). I'm pretty sure he's a male. Although he's never croaked or called, he fits the male description. He's now an inch and a half long. Up until recently he was eating 9 small crickets a week (3 crickets 3 times a week), dusted with calcium powder every time. He went from eating 9 crickets a week to only eating 3 this past week. I feed him in a half gallon plastic fish tank without the lid and put it in his terrarium, thinking maybe since it's clear he still thinks he's on the hunt. (Just to make sure his terrarium doesn't get smelly from possible uneaten dead crickets and so I know he's actually eating them.) He doesn't seem to be acting any different than normal and is active, soaking daily in his bowl of spring water. He seems to have gotten away from climbing the glass walls, but is still active. His tank has been at 70-75 F and the humidity is anywhere from 60%-80% (I try to keep the humidity around 80% but it does dip a few times during the day, in which case I spray the terrarium with spring water and bring it back up to around 80%) He's on a 12 hour on/12 hour off lighting schedule. I'm also worried he's not growing fast enough. He's not skinny, he's got a healthy plump to him. I've tried to give him 4 small crickets at a time when he was eating normally... he always left the last one. More worried about how his eating habits have changed though. Am I overdoing the calcium powder? I coat the crickets, but not with an overly thick layer. My boyfriend also suggested that he's getting bored with the crickets. I was thinking of giving him a wax worm or two a week. I've heard that worms can eat through their stomachs though, and I'm a bit hesitant to give him any.
