    What are your temps?
    Photo please!
    Have you made sure to offer calcium dusting on food items?
    Has the frog been through a treatment for Chytrid Fungus?
    What foods are fedd & what type of schedule/

    there could be many reasons for the lethargy and lack of activity.

    Is he by the air conditioner. The temp should be 80-85 for a baby.

    I agree with BG.....temps are too low. We offer the juvies daily meals. We dust once a week, but as tadpoles, we add vitamins & calcium to the water since they absorb it easily. We also find that a squirt of liquid calcium on the earthworms works too. we keep ours between 80 to 85 F and they thrive. We mist twice daily to keep the humidity on point as well.

    We breed these frogs and have learned alot during the process.

    Definitely keep the temp up in the 80-85 range. You say he stopped catching food on his own? How long has this been? Does he have any other symptoms or changes in behavior?

    Hope your little guy gets better soon! Keep us posted.

    He couldn't catch them I had to gently push the crickets to his mouth to get him not force feed to eat it and not strange just that stretching shaky that was strange But he's moving
