    So I got some night crawlers. I don't think my frog likes them very well. She'll only eat one at a time. I picked up a container of 25 worms 5 days ago and so far she's eaten two (And one hornworm). Is this normal transitioning from a mouse diet? When she eats one she shows no interest in eating another. I'll rub a second worm on her mouth and she'll just bat at it with her hands.

    Thats fine. Adults can be pretty good at regulating their food intake. If she only eats one then offer another the next day or maybe even one every other day. Eventually she may eat more. If the Night Crawlers are large thats even better. My oldest female only eats one every other day to every two days and she is completely healthy.

    Trevor only eats about 2 nightcrawlers every other day, and she stays at a good weight.

    Sounds like your little guy is having a growth spurt.

    Seems like my pacman is acting a little lazier then usual. It hasn't moved much in two weeks. I'm a bit concerned since it's only eaten 2 nightcrawlers in almost 3 weeks. I'm posting this because I went out today and bought her a mouse to eat because I figured she's hungry. I put the mouse in the enclosure and she didn't seems interested at all.

    Here's why I'm concerned. She's keeping her eyes closed a lot. Normally she kinda lays there with her eyes half open. Usually when I mist the tank I squirt her a bit and she perks right up. Eyes get wide and sometimes sits up a bit. Lately when I mist the tank she hasn't been doing that. I bought a different kind of conditioner and been using it for the past two weeks. The water turns a bit brown and bubbles a bit. My other conditioner didn't do that. I'm going to attach some photos for some references.
