    I have no experience with tree frogs but I hope somebody that does comes along. Trust your frog though if he doesn't like the coco fiber (I find mine has a strong scent?) then you should start by taking it away. I had a mouse once and it didn't like wood chips, it turns out the oil was causing seizures or spasms or something.

    A lot of people on this site will warn you about impaction and tell you that your frog could eat the moss and it could get stuck in it's tummy.

    I don't know what to do when that happens, but try looking into it?

    My favorite thing to do when my frog needs to perk up is give him a half hour honey bath. Two spoons of honey in two cups of water, but your frog is tiny? So maybe it wouldn't need two whole cups. The honey perks up my froggy and brings his color back when he's looking faded.

    Good luck. I hope everything turns out okay!

    The dosage we are using at forum is a couple drops (around one drop per in. SVL in enough 80F dechlorinated water to bath a frog to it's chin for 20 min. That is followed by a rinse in 80F dechlorinated water for another 20 minutes.

    Your recommended one spoon (either teaspoon or tablespoon) of honey per cup of water is way more than a couple drops . Are you sure that is the dosage you are using and without a following rinse bath? Just trying to clear dosage, because OP or others might try to do what you are stating and get different results with their frogs.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
