He is the exact size of a quarter. Grif i dont know what to do he hasnt eaten in 3 days worms and crickets he wont touch. Ive sat there for hours thing and trying to get him to eat. I really dont know what to do with him. I realize if he doesnt eat he will die. So 3 days of not eating worries me alot. I dont know what to do. Please get back as soon as possible.

Just give him some time to settle. Some take up to a week to settle in. Keep his climate consistant with very little fluctuation and try not to hover over him so much because he may be afraid of you. When you offer him crickets just very stealthily drop them in with him. No more than 5 per night for now. Remove what isn't eaten in the morning. You must be patient.

So just drop them in and let him catch them. No more tong feeding. I will admit i do like to observe my frogs. Any more tips?? do i take out his water bowl when i feed for crickets dont jump in?? Pull him out of his borrow when feeding or leave him in?? Thanks grif.

Don't touch anything. The most you might want to do is uncover just his head so he can see that there is food in with him and then let him be. Be sure the break off the crickets hind legs so they can't jump. This makes them much easier for him to catch.

No I am not . I guess I could be called an amateur Herpetolygist since I have no degree, but in that respect we all could be called that.

grif i fear today may be the day mayweather goes. He has not come up from a burrow in 48 hrs so today i pulled himout to feed. Eyes are still closed no sign of intrest in food. He has also started to make a clicking noise very loud. Thank you grif for all you did. Were on day 7 of his food strike. Tomorrow is force feeding. I dont know how hes gonna eat with his eyes closed. He will only open his eyes in water. Thank you very much grif if mayweather can pull through i ow it all to you. Even if he doesnt, I am still very gratful that you were here and took a week ot of your life to help me. Thank you, John.
