we would LOVE to see your frog
it seems everyone covered your questions. I'll add though.

Ca/vit D3 - you gotta slow down a little, do it every second feeding, not every day and use multivitamins once a week.
if he went for a worm ( red wiggler) but refuses to eat any worms ever since, probably he got that mucus on, hated it and how doesn't want to do it again, here is when patience on your part is needed. I would try to reinforce tong feeding while he is young, it will save you headache later. Each frog is different and what one likes or does doesn't mean that another one will do the same.
have you covered 3 sides of the enclosure, what size of a tank he lives in, what kind of lightening do you have and do you have albino?

I fed ca everyday because he was eating so little. But Ill only give everyother day from now on. Ive got vitins for him too. He ate some the day I got him. Next vitamin day is friday. His crickets are gutloaded with repashy.

He's a plain green pacman. Under rather dim 3w led lights in a 3g critter keeper. Ive got a ten gallon and an exoterra tank waiting for him as he grows. The sides are covered.

So should i keep trying to offer him nightcrawlers each day? I guess he's traumatized by that red wriggler.

yeah try nightcrawlers, cut a piece from it's "tail", rub his lips a little, be patient.

[Jeffww]

Still didn't want to eat nightcrawlers today. I'll keep trying though. He ate four medium sized crickets before he started to try to run away from the tongs.

He had a good soak in warm water. No poop though, just pee. He did have a BM in his water dish sometime today which is good.




He looks a bit thin. He did become rounder after his meal though.



eating a cricket.

[Lija]

that was some jump for the cricket! very pretty frog you got here! he looks just fine.

[Jeffww]

Thanks. Yah he's a very active frog. Earlier he was chasing another cricket all around the tub. He's also a surprisingly good jumper. I had to put his tube into another box just in case.

So is it normal for a frog this size to only really want to eat every tother day? I fed him quite fully yesterday with four cricks and tonight he's not in the mood. Ran away from worms (still) and is just ignoring cricks. I'm finding plenty of poop. Maybe he's still too full from last night...

[Lija]

yes it is normal, when they're babies they would eat and eat because they need to grow. as they grow they slow down. usually they're are great in regulating their food intake, just feed proper food and he'll be just fine.
