    Default starving gtf

    I gave a neet little frog away as a gift. she has a tiny mate too. the first pictur is her now second picture the night before went to her new home. her owner claims to feed her every other day. I took them back for two weeks. The male, Eddie, is a nice agressive eater. she used to be. I began with a clean tank, removed the stones, in case the crickets were hiding in the stones, and some tank ornaments. I started with gut loaded small cricks. 8. and offered more every day. eddie seems to be filling out. enid is just not as interested in eating as eddie. Im wondering if anyone has ever rehabed a starving frog, and what I can do to get her interested in food.
    their are no herp vets in our area, but our regular pet vet though he would not see her did do a poop screen. she seems healthy. she once ejected her stomache when she swallowed a pine needle. I poured declor steril water which I have ready, over it while removing the pine needle. and gently pushed her tummy back in. she was very weak, but regained health, and months later went to her new home. she will no longer eat dusted cricks. eddie also had visible pelvic bones, but he is growing and no bones now. I vistit her several times a week. she is definatly pooping, but it isnt often she is seen eating. should she be force fed. I hate to. its been years since Iv done that, and that frog died. thank you for any advice.
