    Taking a guess but I think you need to give him more time to adjust to the new surroundings. Keep providing the proper conditions and available food source.

    Thanks Michael. He does seem a little better today. He's moving around a little more. I tried to feed him a cricket with a forcep but he didn't want it. He actually clamped his mouth shut and opened it only when I moved the cricket away. But I did see him lunge at one, he didn't get it but he tried. So I'm going to stop stressing about it.

    just put your crickets in a glass bowl and your frogs will find them. A clean glass bowl will keep the crickets from getting out. Are you dusting your crickets?

    I read about the glass bowl trick in another post that's interesting. I'm going to do that. Yes I am dusting my crickets along with gut loading them with carrots and grapes and random other fruits. I also read to feed them dry cat/dog food they love it!
