Carlos, i hate using meat pie i can't grip it properly with tongs, it goes all over the place, gross

Thanks Carlos. That makes me feel better. At least I'm on the right track. I used to feed Wacca earthworms and she seemed to like them, then she wouldn't eat them anymore. I'll try her on them again and see if she'll eat them. I have Fluker's High Calcium Cricket Diet, which is my crickets' staple. I also throw in a few veggies, as well. Should I continue the daily soaks until she's back to normal? (In other words, can I "overdo" it on the Pedialyte soaks?)

Everyone has provided you with excellent advice.

The only thing you really need to worry about with the soaks is stress, but you have to know when the benefits outweigh the risks and this is one such situation. Keep giving the soaks until the frog recovers. Offer food daily to see if she will eat. Frogs take a long time to heal so you must be patient and persistant. You seem to be doing well. Keep it up!

Yep, I know . I make a cup of mix and use plastic egg container as molds, filling them up around 1/2 in. Sometimes the frogs grab the whole thing, but other times they miss and parts of it fall into substrate. Using it can be frustrating, he, he, he.

I have an update on Wacca. She's doing great now! I never did give her the Repta-Boost, because I just got it via UPS yesterday. I'm kind of glad, because I'm a little intimidated about trying to feed it to her. I don't quite know how to feed her with a syringe, and I'm afraid of hurting her or causing her more stress. Fortunately, I don't think she's going to need it right now. She is hopping normally and eating normally again. (Thank God! I was so worried about her!) I can't thank you all enough for your advice, which I believe saved her life. You're the best!
