Whites Tree Frog in trouble..Please help!

[GrifTheGreat]

Go out and buy some Fluker's Repta Boost. You can feed him this supplement for malnourished insectavore/carnavores. It comes with a syringe and instuctions for dosing. It may be easier for you to give to him if you are having trouble keeping his mouth open. You can mix some Calcium D3 powder in with the dose for your frog.

Good luck!

ITS DOWN!!!
HE DID IT!!! ALL BY HIMSELF!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy I'm crying! lol I had everything all ready to go and I told my boyfriend powder em up and give him a chance so we dumped a BUNCH in. We got about 10 this time. And he started lunging toward them and its like his tounge isnt sticky anymore. They kept getting away so we took some back legs off and BAM! He caught one! He didnt swallow it right away..and started attacking other crickets and we were afraid it was going to fall out of his mouth like we watched a couple of times. Then he finally did his froggy stretches and got it down!! Hes still hunting. one was definitely not enough but he keeps missing. Moving around the tank like a champ tho! Hopping, walking toward em..ugh I am so happy!!

Ive never seen him miss sooo much..I hope it will come back to him as he gets more! He definitely wants more!

Just to be sure..I have the zoo-med repti calcium with D3..that brand is ok right?

was wondering if it had anything to do with why he is spitting them out lol

WHOOOHOOOOO! Awesome to hear he's hunting and eating. If the feeders have a heavy dusting on them Shadrack will spit them out also. I've found that he'll eat much more if they are lighty dusted. But TWO is a great start. You've been up all night watching him, haven't you.
