    They are also nocturnal so they aren't really active until night time. You should be leaving the frog alone during the day and try feeding at night. Answer all that Jessica has asked and post pictures most definetly. Then we can beeter help you.

    Like I said, I got it two days ago, and it was like that when I got it. So it isn't anything I'm doing.

    Try soaking the frog in luke warmde-chlorinated water no deeper than the frogs chin. Put about 3 drops of honey in the water and disolve it. Then place the frog in. Be very careful and make sure not to injure him/her. Soak the frog for about 10 minutes. Then place the frog back in its enclosure. Wait another 5 to 10 minutes and try to feed the frog. Break the hind legs off the crickets so they're slower. Do you have 3 sides of the encloser covered with a background? What are your temps? What level is the humidity at?

    Hey, thanks.

    The temp. is about 75 and humidity I'm guessing is about 60%.

    Your temp is to low and the humidity as well. The temp during the day needs to be 80 to 82 night time should be 77 to 79. Humidity needs to be 70 to 80%. Get the temps up and humidity and you frog should start eating.

    Yes they can be. Amphibians are exremely sensitive to the conditions within their environment. If their conditions are not correct it can cause stress which will cause them not to eat. Also improper conditions can cause health issues as well. They need heat to metabolize and digest their food. If they don't have proper heat they can't properly digest their food. Humidity is a dire need for these frogs as they are tropical. Lack of correct humidity can cause them stress and make them not eat. It also will cause them to have bad sheds and become dehydrated and health issues. You must and I mean MUST! give your frog the correct environment or it may become ill and die. This is why we here stress that you do research on your frog before you buy it so you can give it a proper home. Do what was said and you should get results. Keep us posted.
