    drop the humidity immediately! 40% is the highest they can tolerate.
    please reply to trouble in the enclosure questions so we can help you better.

    1-size of enclosure
    2-# on inhabitants - specifically ( if there is another frog ---size differences ?)
    3-humidity
    4-temp
    5-water - type - for both misting and soaking dish
    6-materials used for substrate
    7-enclosure set up i.e. plants( live or artificial) wood, bark etc -how were things prepared prior to being put into the viv
    8-main food source
    9-vitamins and calcium ? ( how often )
    10-lighting
    11-what is, specifically, being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure
    12-when is the last time he ate
    13-have you found poop lately
    14-a pic would be great ( including the frog ) any little cell phone pic is fine
    15- how old is the frog
    16-how long have you owned him
    17- is the frog wild caught or captive bred
    18- frog food- how often and if its diverse what other feeders are used as treats
    19- about how often the frog is handled
    20-is the enclosure is kept in a high or low traffic area
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    30x30x45 in cm are way too small for 2 frogs, especially if one is a female ( the bigger one I'm assuming, but i don't see it's head from a side so can't say for sure. for these two you want at least 45x45x60 cm tank. i meant at least! the bigger the better.

    UVB is a must! 5.0 for smallish enclosure ( say 18x18x24 in inches or 45x45x60 in cm) for 12 hours a day! use it as a day lamp + basking spot lamp. in a hot spot temps have to be at about 91. even in sunny positions there is no enough of UVB is getting in through the glass.

    didn't quite get what type of water you're using? would you please clarify.

    3 walls of the enclosure have to be covered, your tank is too open.

    last feeding - i hope you meant june 29 of this year, is it right?

    vitamins you need to give once a week , not month, calcium every second feeding.

    pictures of the frog - are these recent? i can't see what is it on it's skin? water drops?

    i want you to do following first:
    -cover 3 sides first, put some kind of plant on one of the sides as well
    - turn on your UVB for 12 h a day
    - put the bigger frog on a perch under the UVB lamp.
    - take pics and post them here. i need pic of it's head sideways, pic from front so the belly and face is visible. if pics you posted are not recent, i need then pic from the top as well.

    please do that and update on what is happening tomorrow and we'll go from there.

    Only thing can add to Lija's comments is about your water source. Still don't understand where water comes from. If not from spring; it needs to be dechlorinated. If from well, a conditioner that removes heavy metals might be needed. Also, can't use distilled or R/O water. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
