    Dust your frogs food withe calcium with D3 like you have every other feeding. He needs food food every other day to every day yo keep him going. Dust with the multivitamin once a week. I will go through this again. Since he appears to be a baby you can feed him evry day or every other day. I would dust with the calcium with D3 monday/wednesday/Friday. Dust with the multivitamin on Sunday. Tell your OH to be very careful. I'm sorry you have to go through this and aren't even there to care for your frog. Use the advice given.

    I hope he recovers.

    Ah right thanks, what about for adult frogs? I've got 3 adults, I do them the same as the little one, 3 times a week, once for each type of vitamin. I want to make sure I'm doing ok with them seeing as nothing seems to be going right for me! Princess died the other week, she stopped eating again. I was just fighting a loosing battle with her, no matter what I did she just didn't want to eat. In the end she even refused wax worms, which is very unlike her.

    Yeah he is a bit clumbsy, he doesn't do animals, but I thought he would be ok as King was ok when I left, well... He hadn't eaten for a few days, but he sometimes did that, then he would start eating again. I only found out he wasn't eating when I posted this topic, he said they were all ok. He didn't know them not eating was a bad thing.

    Your adults can be fed a large meal every 2 to 3 days. Supplement the prey items with one of the supplements during that feeding. Inbetween you can offer a snack or treat in which you will dust with one of the other supplements and rotate them for each feeding. However your feeding schedule is set. Adults take a little longer to digest their food so a large meal can last for. Up to 3 or for days before they actually need to be fed again.

    Keep us posted on the little guy.

    When my boyfriend woke up this morning, King was on his back. He is still alive and he flipped him back over, but that's not a good sign is it?

    That is a sign of severe stress.

    What could that have been caused by? He wasn't disturbed, we didn't get chance to move him over to the different tank as the temperatures were high 70s, so not high enough...

    was he force fed like you said your OH was going too? He is also sick from not eating. This is also stressful. He needs food. Do you have 3 sides of the enclosure he is in covered with some sort of background?
