    Mine doesn't play dead, but they will lay motionless for long periods of time with arms and legs slayed while sleeping in their water.

    Dang...I just hope my baby is okay. He has been doing awesome all this time, I really don't know what could have caused this. I doubt it was changing the water bowl, I noticed the tank has this silicone inside that holds together the pieces of glass on every edge...I don't think the frog rubbing/touching this silicone when he buries could be causing this right?

    No, it's toxic free and animal safe.

    Could it be that I'm dusting too much? I dust 3x Ca and 1x Multi vit but on dusting days I completely cover almost every single piece of worm I feed. Could this be too much maybe?

    I honestly was thinking of feeding variety, but as of now since my frogs are still babies and don't really eat much it would be pointless to buy earthworms, crickets, roaches, waxworms and hornworms all at once because they will probably end up drying before my frogs are able to eat them. I will buy a pack of waxworms today to offer them as treats but how often should i feed these treats then?

    I personally do not dust as much as everyone recommends. I feel diversity is the key, and have had no problems with my animals. I do agree with Grif though and like I said before it sounds like it's toxing out.

    No the sealant shouldn't be a problem unless it is really new and still smells of vinegar. (acetic acid)
    But I don't think that is your problem.

    When I first got my Pepito I fed him mostly crickets and Dubia roach nymphs.
    Then for a week or so nothing but Night crawlers and man his poo stunk to high heaven.
    and his appetite dropped off a bit. Defiantly wasn't himself.
    So I alternate crickets , roaches, and night crawlers. Only dusting the roaches and crickets with D3
    and gut loading the roaches and crickets. Can't really gut load the worms.

    Since then his poo is no where as stinky. and he is much more active.
    But still haven't croaked yet.

    I highly recommend starting a Dubia colony, very easy to start and keep.

    Big emphasis on "UNFORTUNATELY" . I'm looking into discoids, just trying to find a reputable breeder to buy a mixed kit to start one.

    The BEAST IS BACK!!!

    WOW! I'm so relieved to see him eating like this again. He showed his aggresiveness and appetite once again after last night's suspense. I think he should be fine now, I will FOR SURE coat less in dusting days; I also believe I was overdusting by coating too much.

    I also will replace his medium water bowl 2-3 times a day like Grif suggested, being a smaller water bowl, it does get dirtier faster. I will post you guys if I noticed something weird again, but he ate one large night crawler in total and I'm pleased.

    So apparently it could have been an overdusting problem that messed up with his body or maybe toxing out from sitting in soiled water for too long. I noticed this spider-web looking thing in his water today, probably skin.

    Thank you friends!
