HELP!My red eyed tree frog don't eat

[untamedfox]

The temperature is 26℃ and the humidity is 70％.It has not eaten anything for a week and now it looks so scraggy，what's the problem?

You could bump the humidity slightly, but that shouldn't account for not eating. What feeders are you offering and what size are they? Crickets seem to entice them the best but should be no longer than the space between his eyes.

Has it pooped recently? If not it could be impacted.

I second trying crickets if you haven't yet. Frogs are most tempted by food that moves around a lot.

Is the frog moving around and climbing normally?

[untamedfox]

Still not eating crickets last night.I think it's too pooped because it doesn't move as actively as another healthy one.

Thanks for you advice.Their size is 3.5cm and I feed them with tiny crickets about 0.5-1cm.Still not eating.

Sorry, I'm not sure what to tell you then. It's likely that the frog won't get better, but you could try putting the frog in warm, not hot water with some electrolyte stuff they make for babies. (In the US it's called Pedialyte, but it should just have water and electrolytes, no flavoring or coloring.) Adding some of that to the water might temporarily give the frog enough energy to hunt and eat a cricket. You could also add a drop of honey to the water for energy. That's also good for skin infections and impaction, though that's probably not what your frog has.

Where did you get the frog? How long have you had it? It shouldn't look 'scraggy' after just one week..I'm thinking maybe a parasite problem?
