In your experience, have you found that after the first force feed of earthworms that they eat - they tend to get their strength and appetite back? It just seems to me that, it would be more logical to give them more of a fulfilling meal that is nutritionally rich and contains some fat percentage. Even though as we are all aware, vertebrates are hard on frogs organs (specifically the kidney & liver) to an extent.

Also, how come you guys would have to force feed again after feeding it a mouse? George had a great testimonial; I don't know if you saw it, but his pacman was on his death bed (Skinny, weak) and he force fed it an injected mouse with the outcome of it saving his frogs life and bringing him back to health.

Take care,

You better or he'll get his nanny hat on and come after you Lol!

Like I posted though. That was one frog. I had to force feed Grif 2 a week for 4 weeks and then she started eating on her own with a Hornworm which also is an easily digeted food not like mice. That should answer that question if she doesn't. Remember like their personalities their bodies are different as well. I fed her easily digested and already liked foods for a month before that to condition her digestive system. Think about that 2 per week for 4 weeks. With vitamins and calcium. Still took 2 months for her to recover. And she was also on her death bed.

I just don't think its good for an unexperienced frog owner to try this method of food item first. My opinion that's all.
