    Default Feeding two frogs...questions

    Hello,

    I'm new to the forum but not to frogs. I kept a whites tree frog for 7 years. Once he passed, i got rid off all the items i had for him. Just over two weeks ago i decided i wanted to get Whites again and i went out and purchased all the necessary items and once the tank was all set up i purchased two whites tree frogs from a reptile store.

    The first night one of the frogs (we call him Happy) ate 4 crickets. I have been removing dead crickets from the tank ever since. They just weren't eating, I chalked it up as they were nervous in their new home and to let them be. I decided a couple days ago to put a glass dish in the tank to house the crickets thinking maybe the frogs aren't interested in hunting in the tank just yet. The first night all the crickets were there in the morning. I removed them from the tank and put 4 more in last night. My husband noticed that Happy ate the 4 crickets that were in the bowl. The other frog, Grumpy, hasn't eaten. I have tried removing him from the tank and giving him crickets, or wax worms. He refuses to eat. I have only found 2 poops in two weeks.

    How long can this frog go on without eating? Is there a certain way i should be feeding two frogs?

    I did look the frogs over to check for health issues. No signs on red leg, infections etc. They both look pretty healthy.

    1-size of enclosure - 18x18x24
    2-# on inhabitants - 2 Whites Tree Frogs approx. the same size
    3-humidity - 65%
    4-temp - Day 83 Night 75
    5-water - type - Treated tap water for soaking dishes, distilled water for Zoomed Fogger
    6-materials used for substrate - jungle bedding
    7-enclosure set up - fake plants, logs, climbing ropem vines all cleaned with dechlorinated water
    8-main food source - crickets
    9-vitamins and calcium Gut load the crickets and then dust with calcium dust at feeding.
    10-lighting - 60w day lamp for heat and light
    11-what is, specifically, being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure - 60w day lamp during the day 50w blue night buld
    12-when is the last time he ate - I have no idea when Grumpy last ate.
    13-have you found poop lately - only 2 in the last 2 weeks
    14-a pic would be great ( including the frog ) any little cell phone pic is fine
    15- how old is the frog - no idea.
    16-how long have you owned him - 2 weeks
    17- is the frog wild caught or captive bred - CB
    18- frog food- how often and if its diverse what other feeders are used as treats - tried wax worms. They are all dead now.
    19- about how often the frog is handled. Not often
    20-is the enclosure is kept in a high or low traffic area - in my living room. We have no children so its fairly quiet.


    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
