Hi, I moved about a week ago and I think it stressed Kermette (American Green Tree Frog). She refuses to drink and hasn't gone in her bathing dish once. Otherwise she is pretty happy and healthy. She has a strong appetite and is active with normal bowel movements. I've had to prepare baths for her in her travel carrier, but I do not want to continue having to pull her out of her cage, and have been trying to mist her directly as much as possible. I've been using water I brought with me from the old house for her dish/misting/fogger. I've exhausted that supply and have started using water from the new house today, mixed 10:1 with pedialyte (dish/misting). The cage was taken apart and cleaned for the move.
Other odd behaviour includes:
-more active in the daytime than normal
-sits on the substrate in the early evening
-poor grip
1-size of enclosure
18x18x24

4-temp
75-80F
5-water - type - for both misting and soaking dish
dechlorinated
6-materials used for substrate
exoterra plantation soil
7-enclosure set up i.e. plants( live or artificial) wood, bark etc -how were things prepared prior to being put into the viv
2 live (small) 1 fake (large)
8-main food source
crickets
9-vitamins and calcium ? ( how often )
this week dusting with fluker's repta-boost every feeding, normally calcium every other feeding. Crickets fed fluker's orange cubes
10-lighting
1x repti-glo incandescent 1x gro-lux CFL
11-what is, specifically, being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure
lights+substrate heater
12-when is the last time he ate
regular
13-have you found poop lately
regular
14-a pic would be great ( including the frog ) any little cell phone pic is fine
15- how old is the frog

16-how long have you owned him
2 yrs
17- is the frog wild caught or captive bred
unsure, likely wild
18- frog food- how often and if its diverse what other feeders are used as treats
every other day, crickets only
19- about how often the frog is handled
never
20-is the enclosure is kept in a high or low traffic area
average
21- describe enclosure maintenance ( water changes, cleaning etc)
daily water change, poop removal,
thanks for the help
She probably needs a little time to settle in, that's all.
I would just get back to the normal routine an keep an eye on her.
Just make sure the water you are using is treated to remove chlorine.
I would leave Kermit alone for a while. Moving is stressful and now she has you bugging her and misting her. If she's eating and pooping she must be taking in water. Mist the enclosure (not her) to keep humidity up and be sure she has a clean non chlorinated water source and see what happens. I think she'll settle down.
