White Lipped Tree Frog issue

I don't know if this is a way to keep him going.
I'd try 1/2 or 1/4 of an earth worm, or a whole red one.
Maybe a honey bath, 1drop per ounce of water mixed with clear pedialite 1/10 water. I've heard this helps their energy level and increases appitite. I think if had works he would eat and not gain weight. They wouldve errupted through his skin by now. I don't know. Maybe the baths and a visit to the vet.

I think baby food has allot of cereal, he would need protien. Force feed crickets or worms

EZweasel,

Awww...your poor little guy! First off I would put him in a tepid water/honey bath to rehydrate him. You can read about it here.... Frog First Aid.
Then I would get the little guy to a vet. It is not good that he hasn't eaten in so long. You can also try feeding him crickets in a seperate container instead of in his enclosure, he might be having trouble hunting them if he is weak.
Can you post pictures of him and his enclosure please. This will help the experts when they pop in and hopefully give you some suggestions as well.

Hope he gets better soon.

I think I am going to try the honey bath thing. That seems to be a pretty good sollution. The baby food is actually chicken and chicken broth. It has calcium, vitamin D, and alot of protien. I would take a picture of the enclosure, but have already taken it apart and have placed him in a seperate container. It is alot smaller though, but it is only temporary. The terrarium I had him in originally was an 18"x18". I will take a picture probably tonight when I get home because I am at work right now. Thank you all for your concern and help.

Does the tank have good ventilation? Also force feeding never ends well in my experience. If we are talking gastrointestinal parasite, then a vet needs to be seen and the frog treated with metronidazole and fenbendazole.

It does have good ventilation. Sadly, I do not have a vet who deals with exotic animals or frogs anywhere around me. He actually looks alot better right now (I just got home)Maybe I can get some pictures up.
