Hello,

I am so happy to have found this site. There is so much useful information and I continue to be ever more fascinated by the different frogs around our home. We live in Connecticut and found a gray tree frog in our driveway in September. Following the guide here, we set up an indoor tank with screen, water, tree branch and foliage from near where he was found. At first our frog was an enthusiastic eater of crickets and meal worms. Beginning last week, he (I think he is a he but really have no idea) has moved very little (no longer in the pattern he was at night moving around and going to his water dish) and is showing no interest in live worms. He has also gone back to his original gray color after being green for a long time. He is breathing slowly and will jump when roused (I tried to interest him in worms 3x this week) but then goes back to "hiding" on his perch. I just put an African violet plant in his tank because it is getting cold and there are few green leaves outside (I was at first giving him Hostas for cover.) He does not seem the least bit interested in eating and I am concerned that he will not make it if he goes too long without food. Is this normal for this time of year? Is there anything I can do to encourage him to eat?

Many thanks,

Stephanie
