Dead Red Eyed Tree Frog...looking to find out why

[ackeon]

Hi there, a week ago I purchased two red eyed tree frogs from my local reptile store. They were both captive bred, one was a fair bit larger than the other. The move was a bit stressful on them, I think. I have never seen them eat, when I use a shallow ceramic teacup, the crickets are never gone in the morning, though I have seen the bigger frog sitting on the side of the teacup, so I know they can climb it (though the crickets can't). I was worried that they weren't used to bowl feeding, so I started releasing the crickets into the cage, and leaving some in the cup. The ones in the cup are never gone, but I think there is a decrease in the amount of crickets in the cage (though it's hard to tell).

So this is a lead up, to the small one looking pretty starved. Today, I came down, and it was the early morning, he was walking around, soaking, looking fine, then I leave the room for a moment, and when I come back in he's on his back with his legs straight out!! I have pictures of when I wrapped him up in a damp paper towel... did he starve to death? Because of stress? Did the other one eat most of food? Have you ever had this happen before?

I had "Frog Moss" down on the tank floor (that's what it said on the box, was recommended by the specialty reptile store), could he have eaten that and it gotten blocked?

Btw- it's an Exoterra, small tall terrarium, 24" high, 34 gallons, 80F day, and 74F night, don't have a humidity measure, but I mist 2-3 times a day
