I'm new and having issues!

How did you try to force feed? The way to perform this is by using a credit card/shopper card/or plastic spoon to gently pry open the mouth and place a food item in her mouth and let her do the rest. This does stress them out though, but it is better than letting the frog starve to death. It takes a few tries so be pacient and try not to stress as they can sence your stress and it will make the frog stress more. Be gentle and careful. It is best done with 2 people as it is hard to hold the frog and force feed at the same time so someone to hold the frog while you try to force feed makes it easier. Make sure you're doing it on a low area like on the floore on moist paper towels. Be sure to wash you hands thoroughly and rince well with the your frogs de-chlorinated water. Keep us posted. Any questions just ask.

No I meant put it right in her face and rubbed her mouth with it. she is still eating, very little but eating, so I don't want to get to the actual force feeding stage just yet.

That's very good. If she chomped it on her own from rubbing it on her face then you shoul be ok as long as she keeps eating. You could try to soak her in some luke warm dechlorinated water to see if she actually has to poop. It is good for them to soak and though handling does stress them if she is having trouble pooping this will help.

I think we've got confused lol. She didn't eat the worm, but she did eat a cricket or two the other day. Tomorrow I'm going to take the heat mat off Prince and put it on her, see if that helps at all. Prince should be ok being next to one, I swear if I put that frog in the fridge he would still eat! :P

Prince sounds really healthy. Only problem with temps being too cool and the frog still eating is that they can't properly digest and metabolize their food and that really causes problems. Health issues big time. I feel you have a lot to buy here in the near future. They all have to have their own heat pad as well. They always need a constant source of heat and I mean always. You said you have a light on Princess right? What kind?

[vivalabam]

No I don't have any lights, they wouldn't fit on my shelf! I do have enough heat mats for them all, but I figured they would get too hot what with all being next to each other. I don't have another thermostat, so I can put a heat mat on Prince that will just be at lower heat. If everything goes to plan I should have a bit of money soon, I've been breeding mantids! :P

Nice. I hope everything goes to plan and Mantids are awesome insects. I always love finding them.

I think tomorrow I'm going to look for a better tank, and put her next to me, not that I think it will make a difference, she was still funny when she had all the equipment and everything. I think she is just a strange frog, all of my others seem perfectly fine, just her. >_< That's the reason I got Prince, she wasn't being a normal pacman frog, then I got him and all my greedy frog dreams came true. :P

Yeah, recently bred orchids, flowers and congos, so as long as i can shift them I can hopefully get a bit of frog equipment cash!
