Well like they saying goes, "you can lead a horse to water, but can't make em drink it." I'll make sure it has crickets daily. But it's up to the frog if it wants to eat. Now if it goes at least a week without eating then I'll step in again. And I think it's trying to shed? When I soaked it for about 20 min last night (Wednesday) there were a few slimy strands in the water. More of it came off of it as I splashed it/it hopped around. There were at least 4-5 pieces of this. As I watched the cricket interaction last night as well, when a cricket would go near it, the pac huffed n puffed like it was the biggest threat on earth but never moved. It was so cute. It would like swell up kinda and looked like it was breathing really hard n fast until the cricket went away. Then it burrowed. It was funny. The plantation soil is about 1 in thick to 1 1/2 in thick. Does it need to be deeper than that?
