    Default Concerned about one of my new Tomato Frogs

    Im a little concerned about one of my new Tomato Frogs (Lucy), Ive had her about 6 days, I know that they wander around at night and burrow and hide during the day. The first day I brought her home Lucy was all over the enclosure checkin things out, after that she dug her hole and hasnt come out of her hide since (5 days). She will only eat when food wanders into her hide but wont go fetch it. I also have not seen her in the water or drink at all. I also have only seen one bowel movement since Ive had her and the one poop she did make was huge and that was also 5 days ago. Any thoughts?

    She may be simply scared due to the introduction to the new environment, and is simply acclimating to it. The fact that she is eating is a good sign. Still, if you notice anything that could be a sign of ailment/disease or if she hasn't moved for any longer, inform us ASAP.

    Oh, and have you checked at nighttime? All of my amphibians are only fully active in the evening or the night, rarely will you see one of my salamanders or larger frogs going around during the day.

    I'm the same with my juvenile bullfrog, Gnag. She'll sit around all day and only come out at night to stuff her face with crickets and earthworms but she is truly a gorgeous frog and an amazing specimen of a bullfrog.

    Sounds about like mine, once inawhile I'll see one of mine in the water bowl, other than that all 4 stay buried and wait for food to come to them. As long as temp and humidity levels are good (I keep one side around 80-85F and other side around 70-75F, with 70-90% humidity), and their frog logs look normal and no physical signs of illness and it is eating, you should be fine, and be sure your dusting the food with supplements.

    Thanks for the feedback, she came out late last night, took a swim and has been hanging around out side of her hide ever since now, I think she was just shy. LOL
