Where do you suggest getting Nightcrawlers from? I had some in my fridge from fishing earliar this week, but they were in bad shape and definitely didn't want my frog eating them. Do you think worms from a gas station would be fine? Just regluar nightcrawlers you'd use for fishing? My little guy didn't seem the mind the crickets legs the night before, he ate a ton of them with legs on.. didn't have trouble catching them. I tear the legs off for the Green apple though, since he can't move well.

They need to be dye and chemical free. No scents for attracting fish. If you have a Petsmart in your area they should have night crawlers. I believe that Wal-Mart also has some night crawlers that are dye and chemical free. never buy from bait shops or gas stations.

You should tear the legs off for both frogs. Makes them easier to catch.

Whats wrong with gas station or bait shop nightcrawlers?

I said in the last post. Some bait shops and gas stations carry night crawlers that contain dyes and chemical scents for attracting fish. Those kinds are not safe for frogs. They're fine if you know for a FACT that they do not contain dyes or chemicals.

Well, my little guy finally ate a Hornworm. It was pretty cool, me and a few friends just got back from fishing and I wanted them to see my new pacmans. I came into the room and turned on the light and saw my little guy roaming around, I threw in a hornworm that's a little over a inch, kind of chubby, maybe half the size of the frog.. probably smaller. He sat there and stared at the worm for a minute, I didn't think he was going to eat it.. then he snapped and gulped it down, took him a second but he got it. He also got his arm stuck in his mouth and was trying to eat it.. I had to pull it out for fear he'd hurt himself. Overall seeing him eat the worm for his first time was pretty exciting and even better since my friends were there to see it.

The Green Apple refused an earth worm. He just closes his eyes and plays dead or something whenever I try and give him stuff, won't try again until this time tomorrow. He has a few good size legless crickets roaming his cage in the meantime if he gets hungry.

Ok another question, How often should this baby frog be having a bowel movement? I don't THINK he's had one since I got him on Saturday. I've checked the holes he burrows and don't see anything standing out.. I've put him in his water bowl and I've seen him push/fart/urinate whatever he does to move all the dirt behind him, lol. He's done this twice, on separate days when I've placed him in water. The Green apple hasn't even done this, still refusing to eat.

Usually every 3 to 5 days, but babies can poop everyday to every other day. Keep an eye on him and when you soak him use Luke warm de-chlorinated water.

You may have to force feed the Apple if it doesn't eat tomorrow.

The Green Apple took a number 2 last night, I placed him in his water bowl and he sat there all night (water bowls in his tank, he chose to sit there) and he used the bathroom. Since then.. he's been sitting half buried in the coco fiber with his eyes closed, as if he's sleeping. Maybe he's finally getting comfortable? Or is this a sign that he's getting more stressed? I'm going to try and feed him again tonight and if that doesn't work I'll probably give force feeding a try.
