    She's been eating the same brand crickets from pet smart for the last 6 years. and no I don't supplement them- but yesterday I did by some vit to sprinkle on them but she isn't eating.

    No other insects in her cage besides the crickets I put there.

    And no one has handled her in weeks. The only time I ever touch her is to move her so I can give her her water- and I always rinse my hands.

    Question- do frogs this sick EVER get better?

    She is actually holding her head up now, but still shaking and looking pretty crappy. I'll go take a pic and post it.

    Okay I think I attached her picture. The flash makes her look far greener than she is, and you can't really appreciate how shaky she is from a still pic. Also that is not her normal habitat- I took her out and put her in a glad container with a wet papertowel for a base.

    If she is having muscle tremors and is weak that may very well be her calcium intake. That happened to my Whites about 10 years ago. I took him into a Vet, she gave me drops and he was pretty much back to normal after that. Its imperative you dust those crickets! I would take her to a vet asap, usually you can catch these things early enough. Good luck hun!

    Her toes curled under slightly in that picture just doesn't look good to me. This looks like an emergency.
    Until you can get her to a vet, you must follow the advice given by the above folks.
    I am certainly not one that should be giving advice as I just lost one of my white's after 2 1/2 weeks of him being home, but I have learned a lot recently.
    Soak her right away in de-chlorinated and conditioned warm water, like Grif said, with 3 drops of honey- this may give her the energy she needs to eat something.
    Try and feed her something with a vit powder or calcium powder with D-3.
    It is soooo imperative she get the calcium. This could be a severe case of bad nutrition, and now it is a crisis.
    She may still be saved if you follow the advice from all the more experienced forumers.
    Take care of her right away until you can get her to a vet.
    Please don't give up on her!
