Get a fecal done and then focus the cost twards treatment from the actual Herp Vet. First things first is figuring out what's ailing him.

I have some medical text so I'll check to see what may be some causes.

Keep feeding him and keep his climate consistant. Clean water as well. Offer him earthworms. They're very nutritious and easy to digest.

If it's nothing major and he just needs to be fattened up... I've been feeding mine Butter Worms every other day and they are looking healthier every second.

To my knowledge regular bait shop earthworms are fine, just clean them off and use a scissor to make them into more manageable pieces if needed.

Just avoid the funky stuff, like dyes or any other 'enhancements' they may do to them to make them 'better' for fishing.

The ones sold at Wal Mart should be just fine, I feed them to my clawed frogs, no issues and eaten with enthusiasm.

I would avoid red worms (red wrigglers) and stick with canadian nightcrawlers. I believe when cut red wrigglers secrete more 'snot' when threatened and I don't believe it's toxic to frogs it makes them much less appetizing and the frog may reject it.
