I've never had a problem feeding my 6 african dwarf frogs which are in a 10 gallon heated tank and all of them would eat with no problem until recently one of my female frogs would not eat I would try to flash a blood worm near its face but it wasn't interested in the blood worm, i tried the frog pellets and it would just swim away and would not eat at all and i kept trying and trying and not matter what i did it would just swim away and its been losing weight its been 3 days and I'm really worried I heard some people do a " Pedialyte Bath" is it safe? Would you recommend it ? Please anyone answer as quick as possible I really love my frogs.
anyone please help?
I'm not sure as I've never really read threads like this try searching frogs not eating on here and see what people are saying.
Sorry I can't be of any help.
Too bad I have been away. There are times when they just don't eat but I haven't found it to be very often. Keep in mind that these frogs can go a long time without eating. Yes they will use their fat stores but it doesn't kill them on in and of it's self. When I go on holiday I have been gone two weeks at a time and they have still been fine with good filtration.
Can you check the water parameters? Is the frog swimming about? Hiding?
Daylight hiding is understandable. I figure most animals will hide from predators. It is evening swimming I am wondering about. You might consider taking her out of the tank and putting her in a clean de-chlorinated bucket just to get her apart if she is sick. Make sure to give her a hiding place there too. Maybe take some pictures. See if she has a white coating to her. Anything that might help people here know what is happening. Is she bloated? Maybe she is ready to drop eggs?
It is best to get the liquid test kits rather than the dip sticks. More accurate. When was the last time you did a water change and how much?
There are few things that will plague this froggers. I have had some good and bad luck but overall they are pretty straight forward creatures.
