    Hey, thanks for the response.
    I don't know when it started happening (it seems to be off and on).
    I believe she is defecating normally, though I can't vouch for the eating part. I see her eat rarely, but the crickets seem to disappear over time.
    I just took a look at her, and I don't see any other signs. She seems aware when I wake her up.
    I'll try to post some pics shortly.
    I used to keep the daytime temperature around 85-88, with a short drop at night, and the humidity anywhere from 20-40%. But I realized this is good for the P. Hypochondrialis Azurea, from the Gran Chaco, and not the P. Hypochondrialis Hypochondrialis. I have no idea which one she is.

    I don't have any experience with p. hypochondrialis, so I can't provide too many answers. I would say that if she appears to be a healthy weight and shows no obvious signs of stress, there's no cause for concern. You should try using a feeding bowl so that you can have a better sense of how she's eating. I know that Michael Novy of Rainforest Junkies fame breeds these frogs, and might know the difference between subspecies. Give him a call 216-965-2856.

    Thanks! I know Mr. Novy breeds them from time to time, so I'm sure he'll have some answers.
    I'll try the feeding bowl as well. Any tips on keeping the crickets in there? They're sneaky little buggers.

    Use a bowl at least 3 inches deep with smooth sides so they can't crawl out. Keep it low so the contents are easy to see and keep a piece of paper towel in there to absorb moisture which might drown smaller crickets.

    Hey everyone,

    I am happy to announce she is fine! Bright lime green and cruising around the tank
    Turns out I was keeping her in P. H. Azurea conditions, rather than P. H. Hypochondrialis. I switched the temps and humidity and she is doing great now!

    Thanks for everything!
