Hi, I'm new to the forums but it's been wonderful in helping me raise my Gray Tree Frog up from a tadpole. I'm up in Massachusetts and have had him since late July. He didn't start changing until the beginning of November, and completely changed into a frog (leaving the water and losing his tail) about a week ago. He ate well as a tadpole, feeding on lettuce and frog/tadpole pellets, but since he transformed he hasn't eaten at all. I've been putting some flightless fruit flies in his habitat daily (I even tried feeding at different times of the day) but as far as I can tell he hasn't touched them. I tried getting some ReptoTreat bloodworms as well, the kind in the gel, but those were also untouched. He seems active enough, jumping around and lounging in his plant and on his wall, but I'm really getting concerned that he hasn't eaten anything after 10 days of being on land. I'm afraid he's going to end up trying to hibernate and with his empty belly he won't make itIs there anything else I should try, or does he just need more time? Any help would be much appreciated!
He looks a little young yet to eat. Keep him warm and keep giving him fruit flies - remember to dust them with vitamin/mineral and calcium supplements regularly.
