While he was soaking in the second bin, he shed, but it was just floating in the water he didnt eat it? do they ALWAYS eat it or just a majority of the time? the humidity and temps are constant 80s, sometimes the hum. will go to 90 but the temps stays within 78-82 100% of the time, the only time the humidity drop below 80 is when his light is on (50w moonlight about 1.5'-2' from the substrate) or when the lid is taken off for about 5mins. Still hasn't really eaten anything but 2 nightcrawlers in the 2 weeks i've had him, pooped em both out either same day or the next. he ate em a week apart from each other tho, and it was a waiting game to get him to eat 1 :/ think i might have to try the syringe/solution method of the repti-aid, but i dont wanna stress him out too much. Ima try to get him to eat crickets most likely 2day if i can get some. ill keep posted, hopefully he'll eat for me so i dont stress.
As long as the frog appears plump and doesn't look like its losing weight it should be ok. Force feeding is stressful, but sometimes necessary. Use a plastic spoon flipped upsidedown and insert it between the upper and lower jaw. Usually their mouth will pop right open, but you must be quick and squirt the solution in his mouth. You will need someone to help with the force feeding because its extremely difficult to do this alone. Someone will need to hold the frog for you while you do the force feeding. One dose should be enough per night. It would be best to skip a day between meds so you can try and get the frog to eat on its own.
