Could be nematodes which will require you to deworm your frog. Best to have a vet confirm and supply you with the necessary medication.

Be aware that they could also be Fungus gnat maggots. They...

You should try something other than roaches. They tend to not like the spikey legs they have and will sometimes refuse them. Try Earthworms or see if you can get Hornworms for her.

You said she was eating on her own, but now you are saying that you have to force feed her again?

You can offer her the roach nymphs rather than adults. Their Chitin is not quite as hard. Also you...

You can use hissers but I wouldn't offer the adults because they are large and contain a lot of chitin. Not really a substitute for mice because they're not the same. It's always good to offer...

Her skin looks fine.

What is left in the water could be from her stomach. Since she is sitting on that portion of skin while shedding it may year and that is why she doesn't eat it. Next time she...

Does she leave all her shed or is it only some small pieces?

They typically eat the whole shed, but sometimes miss pieces because the shed gets stuck or tears during the process.

If you would,...

Sounds like poisoning. Do you use insecticide or chemical fertilizers in your garden? If so, that could be the problem.

Without any more information it's hard to say. You may want to share some...

Check the frog's thumbs. There will be a dark spot on the side of the digit know as a nuptial pad if the frog is male. Females tend to be larger than males and mostly lack any identifying markers.

Your frog is an adult.

Your temperature range is fine. As for the humidity jumping to 90%, that is due to no light burning off the moisture in the air. It's a little high and you'll need to watch...

You're welcome.

If possible remove the small amount of formula from the substrate. You don't want it mixed in with it.

Offer food as normal. The idea is to stimulate his appetite and get him strong enough to eat on his own. I would use it for a couple weeks while offering normal food item as well to see if he will...

Probably just a result of malnutrition. The formula should help with that.

It's probably unrelated.

Observe the condition of his skin closely. Does he eat it like they normally do or does he slough off and leave it? Constant sloughing of the skin or trouble shedding...

What you are using is fine for supplements. You will need to give less often because adults do not need supplements as often as growing frogs. Once per week is sufficient.

The formula is loaded...

Good to hear.

They are not necessary but can be used if you like. The important part is not using a light source that interferes with the animals day night cycle.

It should be the consistency of melted ice cream. Do not make it more solid because you may give too high of a concentration of formula. This is designed to be a liquid not a solid. Do not feed him...

Sounds good.

As for the force feeding. You'll probably have to pry his mouth open and you'll only want to feed him about 0.5 mL of the liquid food at a time until. They have not evolved to drink...

I'd leave him be since you've force fed him. Messing with him a lot will increase stress. Force feeding even more so. That's why it is only used as a last resort.

Bulb height is based on output....

You can try that.

Be careful with these critical care formulas. They are made to break down and become bioavailable rapidly and can grow bacteria very quickly if contaminated.

Go with something with 2.0 in a full spectrum bulb. Wattage can be the same or a little higher.

No particular lamp necessary. Just one that fits the bulb. Use something around 25 watts that is full spectrum. Exo Terra Repti-Glo 2.0.

You can use it for the main daylight bulb so no need to...

Sometimes when they come out of aestivation their personality seems to change. They may be more likely to bite, change their preferred food, or just be even more lazy. It doesn't happen with all...

Is that the frog's normal color?

Stop using the honey bath. That's not going to help.

You are going to have to force feed the frog if it will not eat. Try crickets before you attempt to force...
