    lol! Not like running aorund help me!! he switches between his log burrow and his main burrow XD he digs and when I turn on his herp light he burrows showing a sign that its morning, and at night I turn his light off then he comes out and switches to his log burrow and he has every thing he needs! A heat lamp ontop of tank, heatpad, clean water and I havent bothered him in days now! I only spritx his tank etc. I have a 12 hour on off cycle and to be honest he seems quite happy and not very stressed! The only thing he does is not eat. I try and feedd about every other day. The temps in the day are 75 to 85 ranges from and at night they drop to like at the lowest 65 to 75. Also why would he associate me as a threat!! My cousin got one to except albino and he runs around with his and takes no good care of it! and his eats sleeps fine I take better care of mine and of course I get struck with the impression I have bad husbandry! I AM NOT STUPIDD i TAKE CARE OF MY FROG!! My cousins frog ate the next day mine just runs away from food i dont know what i did wrong! I didnt even force feed him! his mouth opened abit after i had the worm near his mouth so i plopped it in there before he could close it! ergh! I can not even type write now!

    look, I'm a bit confused here, why are you asking for help if you are dismissing everything we are advising you, if you know better I wish you luck, if a baby frog doesn't eat for so long that is a very bright shiny sign that husbandry is off or frog is sick or both. if I were you I would take help given and try to fix things instead of giving us attitude.
    no offense intended, i just feel sorry for a frog.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    You need to calm down. I can tell you from this post that your problem is your husbandry. Your frog should neverbbe exposed to temps below 75° F. 65° is insanely low for a tropical frog. They pretty much never are exposed to such low temps. At night you should never go below 76° F. If you actually listen to us we can help you, but when you ask for help and then automatically go on the defensive when you are told you're wrong then you are basically telling everyone here that they don't know what they are talking about and I can assure you that we do know what we are doing.

    Do as you are advised and we can solve your problem. As for how you cousin treats their pet. This is in no way relevent to your frog. Each frog is different just as you and I are and one may never become stressed and others are a nervous reck.

    Your tank is too large which makes heating it extremely difficult. A very large tank also makes it difficult for them to catch food becausebthey are sit and wait predators and do not chase their food often.

    Listen to what experts tell you. If you knew absolutely everything you are doing is correct then you would not need to come here and ask for help.

    Please listen to what everyone is advising including myself. We are here to help you.
