My FBT wont eat its been a week.

I've been feeding my FBT crickets switching from large and small. Now she isnt eating. I would put 2 crickets in there one large one and one smaller one. She just avoids them. Should I try wax worms?

I don't have FBTs and am no expert, but you could try earth worms cut into pieces about an inch in length or just buy red wigglers and see it she takes to them. Wax worms are a good treat food, but not a good staple. They're mostly fat and empty calories. Try the earth worms or red wigglers.

Hope this helps and she starts eating.

How long has it been since she last ate and what size/how many did she eat at that time? What substrate do you have in her enclosure? Have you tested the temps and humidity?

Edit: I just saw Grif's post above mine, and if he doesn't seem worried then I wouldn't be either :P Was just going to try to get some more info so that someone like Grif could answer you haha.

Kristen's questions need answering as well. Answer her questions and try the worms like I said. This is very important. There is only reason for concern depending on how long it has been since your frog has eaten and I would describe in detail how your frog is acting.

Keep us posted.

its been about a week since she ate. i try to feed her between 3 small crickets in the morning and at night, or two large crickets in the morning and at night. last time i fed her i fed her one large cricket at nite and since then she stopped eating. the past few days ive been putting one large one and one small one in her 10 gallon terrarium/aquarium so she would have a choise between the two but she just hops away from em and stays in her water side of her habitat. over all shes still acting fine she keeps bounceing around when i talk to her lol. she doesnt look any skinnyer. today she climbed to the top of her tree and hung out for a while.

i have a stick on thermometer on her terrarium so i can tell the temp but havent checked the humidity. the land side of her habitat has gravel with frog moss on top. she also has a chinese hut to hide in and a tree to hide in and climb on.

can i get earthworms or red wigglers at petsmart? would i need to coat them in calcium powder before feeding them to her or attempting to feed em to her and would it be best if i get some feeding forcepts?

just went in and checked on her and it looked like she folded herself in half... her head and back feet almost touched. she did it once before and i freaked out and kinda poked her then she went back to normal
