I need help asap

Oh and yes, I have used the dechlorinating drops on EVERY amount of water that goes into that tank. I have had a pacman before, But not one ths little.

Ok then this sounds like a seizure. Do you use a multivitamin supplement and calcium powder with vitamin D3? If not get both ASAP. Vitamin deficiencies can cause all kinds of issues including neurological problems that can cause them to seiz. Some can be fatal if this problem isn't corrected. Especially on one so young.

Yes I do use that type of Calcium powder and a multivitamin powder once a week, but the problem is that he hasn't eaten since I got him. I know sometimes they don;t like to eat. I'm wondering if he doesn't like crickets. So tomorrow I'm going to go out and get him some earthworms and cut to his size and see if he eats those. Or any other suggestions to feed such a little guy?

And the Substrate I'm using is a mix of 1 Block (of the valu pack) Eco earth, with a small brick of All Living Things Tropical Soil Bedding. I do have moss at the end of the tank, But he DOES NOT get on it, It's separated a little from the habitat and just there to help keep it humid in the tank.

Just so everyone knows, this is his tank. It is a 20 gal.

Looks good. Do you have a screen lid?

How often do you mist?

Unfortunately no,, but I have a towel type set up to keep humidity in, things out and it keeps me from opening the noisy lid since my fiancee sleeps during the day.

Get a metal screen lid and cover 3/4 of the lid with plastic wrap leaving on opning where your lamp shines in. Answer the Trouble in the enclosure questions for me.

1. Size of enclosure: 20gal reptile tank

2. # of inhabitants - specifically other frogs and size differences: 1

3. Humidity: maintained between 55-70

4. Temperature: maintained at 85-76 during the day and 75-70 during the night

5. Water - type - for both misting and soaking dish: Tap water sanitized with All living things Turtle water conditioner water drops. I had to use that till tomorrow since I was limited on money.

6. Materials used for substrate: one block of Ecoearth mixed with a small amount of All living things Rainforest Soil

7. Enclosure set up i.e. plants (live or artificial), wood, bark and other materials.: Included picture in previous post.

- How were things prepared prior to being put into the viv.
I cleaned them With HOT water, did not use any cleaning agents. they are the same plants that I used for my other frog. It's also the same tank (He did not die from natural causes, unfortunately the cats at my old house broke the tank top while I was out and ate him...)

8. Main food source: Nothing yet..

9. Vitamins and calcium? (how often): I dust the crickets EVERY time I offer him one. I try rubbing the cricket on his lips so maybe some calcium gets into his mouth some how.

10. Lighting: 5.0 26w Reptiglo UVB bulb.

11. What is being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure: 1 infared heat bulb (constantly) and an UTH on the side of the tank, protected by a wood log so the frog doesn't burn himself.

12. When is the last time he/she ate: 10 days ago.

13. Have you found poop lately: I don't think so, My substrate is pretty dark and I try not to disturb him much right now till he starts eating.

14. A pic would be helpful including frog and enclosure (any including cell phone pic is fine): Already included in a previous post

15. How old is the frog: Have no clue but still has a small nub at his back end.

16. How long have you owned him/her: 9 days.

17. Is the frog wild caught or captive bred: I believe Captive, I'm not too positive about where petsmart gets there frogs from.

18. Frog food- how often and if it is diverse, what other feeders are used as treats: as of now he hasn't eaten. I kept offering him crickets (Powdered) but he just wouldn't eat them. So tomorrow I'm going to buy some worms and try that.

19. How often the frog is handled: only the day I bought him. He was put in the cup by the lady, then i set the cup right in the Tank so he could hop out on his own.

20. Is the enclosure kept in a high or low traffic area: Pretty much. I mean I'm in my bedroom a lot but I'm not up in his face and making loud noises. But sometimes the children come in and shine a light on him.

21. Describe enclosure maintenance (water changes, cleaning, etc): So far, I have not cleaned it since he has just recently entered the habitat. I change between a day bulb and a red infared bulb for night. For some reason I guess because of winter, I can't keep the heat in the tank up without a bulb. I mist it two to three times a day and change water daily.
