Darwin just laying with eyes closed

[Madelon]

Darwin seems sick, he hasnt eaten in over a month now, and the last week he's just laying on his belly with his eyes closed. He doesnt take worms like he normally eats, and also no crickets or even a pinky. First I just thought he was molting, but he molted and theres no difference. He doesnt look constipated but he seems so lethargic, didnt even pee on me when I moved him a little to have a good look at him. Im worried that he's slowly dying and I dont know what to do!

Answer these questions and post the answers here. http://www.frogforum.net/pacman-frog...enclosure.html

Does he move at all when you touch him? Does he ever open his eyes?

[Madelon]

Put him in some luke warm water, but he's still got one eye almost closed..

I can tell already that he is much to small for his age. Stunted for some reason. If he was getting plenty of calcium and the climate was kept appropriately then he should have been at least 3.5" to 3.75" if actually male and anywhere from 4.25" to 5" if female.

Something is wrong with the setup and from your answers I'm not sure what it may be. How cool does it get there at night and do you have the AC blasting?

[Madelon]

No, I dont have AC and Im pretty well insulated, so it doesnt cool off much during the night, certainly not under 75F. I keep the windows closed during the day so it doesnt get too hot. It does get a lot more humid sometimes after a thunderstorm, but I didnt think that was a problem?

Any strange behavior? Did the frog try and aestivate when it was younger?
