    Default RETF weather and food

    I have noticed that the last week to two weeks my adult RETFs have been eating less. Particularly the Males. They wake up as soon as the lights go out as opposed to they usually sleep the first third of the night cycle. They also seem to be getting thinner (looser appearing skin on their sides) My female seems to have lost a little bulk too but not as noticeably. I have two Juveniles in a separate enclosure that are eating like champs even before i finish closing up after myself.

    I have noticed that the last week has been Wisconsin April. cold front with long days of rain/drizzle not quite storms. tonight is the first storm with thunder. Would this cause them to lose interest in food? also, I don't want to breed yet so if this would spark breeding I want to know too.

    yes... sounds like its breeding time... barometric pressure drop...you should get a barometer and notice the differences on how your frogs act when the liquid levels decrese =P its quite amusing.. you can predict how you frogs will react. START MISING THEM MORE. and you will get lots of croaking =P

    Is there anything to worry about if my males are appearing thinner and ignoring abundant food? And if I should worry, what can I do about it?
