    Try wrapping your baby in a dechlor water moistened paper towel to hold him. Have your worm or cricket (remove the back legs) in a cup already calcium/vita D dusted and ready to go. Have a soft Qtip moistened with dechlor water set aside in case you need it to help slide it it a bit. Gently use a clean credit card or shoppers card to carefully open the side of her mouth. Slide the food in just far enough for your frog to close her mouth over the food while removing the card. She will likely close her mouth as soon as the food hits her tongue. Be sure she is upright or slightly leaning forward, not laying back, so she does not choke. She should then swallow it on her own. I then use the wet Qtip and moisten my retf's lips. It helps to make him swallow.

    Stay calm and as relaxed as you can.

    Really pulling for you and your frog, Omar. Always hate to hear about this kind of stuff.

    Thanks I'll attempt a force feed tonight as its going on week two already that she hasn't eaten. I have nightcrawlers in the fridge still that I will be using, or my shipment of lobster roaches thanks to King Cam, if they are there when I get home tonight. I've been trying to research this green spot thing and narrowed it down to it being stress related. I have her in the hospital tank still and I have been leaving her alone for the most part to see if she breaks out of this stress that she's under. I know this force feed will cause more stress but I mean, I'm not having too much of a choice in the matter.

    Omar, did you receive the roaches I shipped yet? Tracking said they were out for delivery early this morning. I hope they are all alive. Lemme know, I'm anxious to hear if your frog responds to them.

    I'm stuck at work at the moment until 10pm. I didn't get them before leaving, hopefully my roommate was able to get the package in hand. Also, PM me what city and state you are in, I'll western union you $20 since my paypal account is all hosed up.

    Don't worry about it, buddy. It's not a big deal, and if my roaches can help you out I'm happy to give them to you (this time :P). Good luck with your frog man, I've got my fingers crossed for you.

    Cool man, haha, its fine. Yeah I texted my roommate to see if she got the package from UPS. UPS usually leaves packages at the leasing office of my complex so if anything I'll go there first thing in the morning when they open up.
