    Greetings Blaisedafrog~
    Good looking frog!
    All of the advice above is right on...
    Just wanted to share my experience with my whites, to reassure you that your on the right track:
    -My white's didn't eat for one week after I brought him home! (be persistent and regular (every night for now, about 3-5 crickets in the bowl per night), the glass bowl feeding method is best when monitoring your frogs food intake, you can search the forum for tips. There are many posts about feeding from a glass bowl). This method ensures your frog is eating AT LEAST every other day, if not for several days - then worry. Dust with Calcium with D3 every other feeding, and multi vits once per week. Feed at night in complete darkness.
    -Do not handle your frog (causes intense stress)
    -allow your frog time to settle in. Imagine if you were moved from one place to another, without any knowledge of where you were going, or if you were safe? The frog needs time to trust you.
    -cover 3 sides of his tank for security
    -don't 'spy' on him too much, this also causes stress
    -light and night schedule a must. And complete darkness at night.
    Good luck,
    everything looks good. Quiet, and patience are key during the transition into your home.
    Be patient and I'm sure all will be ok.

    My son wrote above that he successfully ate but he is just thinking that because he pooped. But the cricket we put in the feeding bowl was still there this am. He did have a couple loose crickets in the terrarium but I think two have gone under the waterfall and probably died. One has still been seen adventuring around inside. So, we gave him a honey bath last night and then shut the lights off and put him in the feeding bowl. Unfortunately we have to handle him a bit to do this as he is not interested in feeding so we had to put him in. All he did was sleep in the bowl ALL night, even with complete darkness. This am, there he and the cricket were, still in it. He didnt move until I picked him up to put in another honey bath. He doesnt panic or try to get away, hes very quiet. After his bath i just held him to his branch and he waited then climbed off and went to his daytime sleep spot beside the waterfall. Will try the same tonight (maybe minus the honey bath, unless we should do it again????). Oh and the tank only went down to about 69 without the light last night so that worked ok. When our weather gets colder, it will end up being cooler. Going to cover the sides today and see if that helps. Thanks Bolisnide!! Kelly
