    Lol! you crack me up Jess. There is no shame in your words.

    I'm glad to hear you got her eating. Now all you need is a Male and you guys can start tryibg to breed them. (well that is if she is actually a she.)

    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.

    Yay!! It feels good when you can at least get them to swallow the food. You know at least they have something in the tummy! Best of Luck with the other one!!

    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 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.

    Maybe their tastes differ too.

    Both of mine have no interest in crickets, roaches, or nightcrawlers. I snapped another pic of them, so I will try to get that posted tonight.

    This is exactly what happened with my little guys. They seemed to LOVE them at first but after like the 3rd feeding they denied them.

    True, we use Mollies or Guppies when feeding fish to our frogs.........but they will try to get them in the bowl......pretty sure our little betta bowls have hundreds of tongue prints on them!!

    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.
