    How often are you getting readings of 100%? Is it possible that you're misting right onto or above the hygrometer?

    It's a digital hygrometer. I've seen it at 100% once, so maybe that was the case. It is usually 75% to 80%.

    Will he starve himself if I don't change his food up? I certainly dont want him to do that.

    Its a tough one but i think hes just too wet. Try to vary the humidity throughout the day instead of always being around 75-80.(50 to 80 throughout day works for me) I had the exact same problem with my first frog too, but he survived in the end. Trick is not to worry, something i do alot . Also, the changing food around thing might not work for yourself. The reptile shop owner suggested i do that.

    Interesting, so they wont eat if they are too wet? I will try that and see if he starts to eat.

    Actually, looking in there now, I see a fish missing. He may have eaten one of them...

    Rainforest types, like Hypsiboas geographicus can never be too wet. Dry maybe but not wet.

    Also very true, they are from the 'rain' forest after all. This is just my own experience with my particular frog. He hated being completely wet all the time and wouldnt eat when he was. Every frog is different
