Those are gorgeous!!!!
On a side note........our cornuta ate a mouse tonight!!!!!!!
(Insert Happy Frog Ate Dance here.....NOT to be confused with the ever dreaded Pee-Pee Dance!!)
You have NO idea how happy that makes me! I can not feed frogs to frogs.....it just doesn't feel right!
Well I had to force feed the skinny cornuta two roaches, but he did keep them down and didn't struggle at all. The other one I am going to leave alone for a couple days.
Congrats on ur pickup. They are absolutely beautiful!! Hope they stay healthy for ya..
I so want one of this someday.
Just got this in today.

So with the ecozone my cornuta cages are 87 degrees and 86 humidity. Is this a good max temp for them? Then have the temp drop to 80 at night? They seem to like the high temps, my cb baby cornuta ate 5 crickets last night, and I had to force feed the 2 wc cornutas a couple dubias. The way I force feed is to take a 1 inch dubia and just gently run it along the cornutas mouth, then they always open up and gladly eat the food...two times this has worked for me. I always try to feed with tongs first though.
87 is a little high. 85 would be better. I occationally raise my temps to 86 or 87 for an hour or 2 then lower it to 84 or 85. The humidity level is fine. Cornuta like higher humidity. You could got to 78 or for a night temp just don't go lower. To wide of a temp fluxuation can stress your frogs.
I live in Michigan I get hornworms for my cranwelli and tomato frog. $10.45 is not a bad price, the shipping is what sucks! I buy them for a dollar each which is a bit much for me, but the way the pet store raises them doesn't seem like it would take too much space(I'm not sure whatch you're working with space wise) they keep there's in a deli cup/jar like people do with there fruit fly cultures and just put the food they feed them and like a netting for them to climb. You probably already know this just throwing that out there just in case you didn't! For some reason both my tomato and cranwelli stopped eating them not a clue why, but I'm sure they'll start eat them again soon. Hornworms grow incredibly fast too.
I've tried to let the pupas metamorph into the Tobacco butterflies but they usually don't come out. I knew the process its just the growth factor that is the problem. They grow so fast that I'm pretty sure there would be deli cups everywhere.
Your frogs probably stopped eating them because they are tired of them. Like us the tire of the same food after a while and want something different. Try a different food for a while then try the Hornworms again.
Mine just don't seem that interested in eating them again.....they took the first ones aggressively, but afte that, some of them actually turned them down!
despite this drawing of mine don't feed them goldfish

I went to my local pet store yesterday and they had neither mollies or guppies, just feeder goldfish so I just bought some crickets. To my surprise tonight both cornutas decided to eat 3 crickets each!! Finally no more force feeding. I also caught one of them shedding this morning and wow I could not believe how bright green it was.
