    Default Help please!

    Hey there,

    So my two frogs seem to be doing quite well, I moved them to an area with more light and their colour is back to normal bright green and gold (they're Southern bells, I discovered). Problem is, one frog seems to be hogging all the food, and even when I separate them the smaller, skinnier one seems disinterested in food. I've even tried putting food right in her sight line or scent line and there's no joy. And she's just wedging herself into the corner of the tank, under driftwood and rocks.

    Does anyone have any suggestions as to help the little girl out? Temperature in the tank is about 22 degrees celcius and I mist them regularly.

    TIA, Mel :-)

    It is possible that the skinny one is stressed out. Keep her separated for a while until she starts to eat well. Hand feeding will be necessary. Larger frogs will often bully the smaller ones.
