Not eating

[Frogsandlizards24]

Well i got two new juvenile whites tree frogs two days ago, theyre active at night, the temp is fine, but one of them hasnt eaten yet. The other one has, so hes fine (i say he because they both croak at night) but one of them hasnt eaten in the two days ive had them. Hes active at night but just hasnt been eating. Could he just be adjusting to his new home? How long might that take? Do you think hes ok? Sorry im asking so many questions haha i just want him to be happy. And hes pretty fat (not impacted because he poops a lot)

What are you feeding them? And how are you feeding them?

I had them in a 12x12x18 and today upgraded them to a 18x18x24 and guess what? He just ate haha so i guess he needed more space to hunt. Thanks for replying

HI,
I'm glad to read your reply.
It takes time for them to adjust !
Cover three sides of their the enclosures; which will help them feel more secure.
Remove one covered side at a time over the next few weeks.

Keep things quiet around their enclosure.
And, of course, don't handle them.

Are they CB or wild caught?
If wild caught - you might seriously consider doing a fecal test on one or both frogs as they are very prone to parasites.
(Watch for diarrhea, wt loss, diminished activity, sleeping in the water dish,loss of appetite)

I'm sure you know - - - - Don't forget to - alsways- dust their food with Calcium and Vit D supplement.
Use de-clorinated H2O - only - for the soaking dish
