    I had the same problem when my frogs were sick. I found Hydralyte, but couldn't find it unflavoured. Infact I dont think they make it unflavoured. Here is an ingredient list for it http://www.hydralyte.com/pdf/products.pdf (No unflavoured is listed there, so I assume there isn't one)

    If she won't make it in time for the pedialyte to arrive, maybe take him to a herp vet?

    Do you know if he was eating at the previous owners house? Maybe he isn't eating because he went from an unheated home straight into a heated one? I'm not really sure.
    Good luck! And good on you for taking him in

    Pedialyte is just a commercial thing, easy to make it you're own.
    It's just a mixture of Natriumchloride (salt) and glucose (sugar) in the right dose.

    This saline/glucose solution should be 0,9%.
    You can make this by getting 1 L of warm water and put in 9 grams of Natriumchloride (just table salt is fine, as long as it doesn't contain iodine wich will be written on it when it contains iodine)
    and 9 grams of glucose (or sugar if glucose isn't readily available).
    Mix it in good, and let it settle to reach room temperature.
    Put in you're frog for about 10-15 minutes.

    It will do the same thing, only at a fraction of the costs.
