Please help :/

I he extremely skinny now. Can we see some pics. He hasn't had vitamins and calcium for a month now ,so he's lacking it.

I haven't found any droppings since the last time he actually ate which has been making me worried that there might be a blockage :/. I'll try unplugging his heater at night to bring the temperature down then...maybe he needs a variation in temp like you said because I've been keeping the tank pretty steady between 75 and 80 degrees. I've attached some pictures I hope this helps.

You need to make sure the crickets are not longer than the space between the frogs eyes. You also need to get some calcium on the crickets.
I would put the crickets in a small glass bowl so you can monitor them and make picking them off easier.

Since they are nocturnal creatures, don't have a light on at night if possible. You also need to have something they can climb and perch on such as branches and larger leaf plants. Being able to hide or at least feel hidden along with being able to move around on something other than the tanks bottom should be provided.


Maybe someone else might see something from you pics.

My whites was looking like that for a bit before i removed him from the tank i had to a smaller one for a night or two to monitor his eating, i also put him in the room people rarely go into so he didnt feel stressed by me watching him eat. Best of luck getting him to eat!

Thank you. Did putting your whites in a quieter room help? How long did it take you to see improvements if it did?

[lenameri]

Thank you for all the advice. I'll try putting him in the glass bowl to see if that helps when I feed him. Other than that he has some some big leaf-ie plants in his cage well as some driftwood to climb on...I've been moving those around to try to give him more space to hunt since I saw that he wasn't eating. Do you think that might have stressed him out too much?

You have a White's Treefrog Too? Cool!!! Once my frog escaped from his cage and when we found him he was so stressed out he didn't eat for a couple days. The best advice I could give you is to try make him eat a cricket or 2. Best of Luck!!

[hophappygirl]

just don't be to forceful!! You don't want to hurt him

Thanks for the luck Rufus refuses to eat anything that I'm holding with tongs so I don't think I'll be able to hand feed him. I've been trying with superworms but he doesn't seem to recognize those as a food source. I'm going to try putting him in a bowl with a cricket and see if that helps.
