Giant AF still not eating

[MyKindOfLullaby]

if you did that recently, that could be the reason he is not eating.

Nope, I just did that a few hours ago. His cage was WAY too small for him so I had to switch him to the bigger one, even though I know this causes stress.

he should start eating soon.
put some pictures up of his nice new cage. i would love to see it!

I'll post pictures once I get more cage furniture

Another question, I put him in his new enclosure last night and since then he turned to a very pale green color. Is this just from stress?

I put rigby in a new enclosure last night, prior to the eating problem.***
1. Size of enclosure?
32 inches long, 15 inches wide, 16 inches tall.

2. # of inhabitants - specifically other frogs and size differences?
Just him.

3. Humidity?
Humidity gauge broke a few days ago, need another one.

4. Temperature?
It was 85 in his last cage, but since I just moved him to a new enclosure last night it's staying at 81. Going to get bulbs today.

5. Water - type - for both misting and soaking dish?
Purified water. (I need to get dechlorinator for my tap water)

6. Materials used for substrate?
Eco earth, dirt is moist and clumps together, but not soup-like.

7. Enclosure set up i.e. plants (live or artificial), wood, bark and other materials. - How were things prepared prior to being put into the viv?
Viv was disinfected with zoo med stuff and rinsed thoroughly. There is only 2 artificial plants and a plastic water dish. (The water dish is actually a dog food bowl)

8. Main food source?
Dubia roaches (appropriate size) and crickets occasionally. Have tried nightcrawlers and reptiworms but shows no interest.

9. Vitamins and calcium? (how often?)
Well, before when he was eating correctly it was vitamins once a week and calcium 2-3 times a week.

10. Lighting?
Just his heat light

11. What is being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure?
A heat bulb from petsmart, all living things brand.

12. When is the last time he/she ate?
A full meal, about a week and a half. He/she ate one cricket a few days ago.

13. Have you found poop lately?
Within the last week, yes.

14. A pic would be helpful including frog and enclosure (any including cell phone pic is fine)
Pictures of frog are on a post above you. Will post enclosure at a later time, no way to take a picture this moment.

15. How old is the frog?
Roughly 6 months.

16. How long have you owned him/her?
I've had maybe about 3 months. Now, I just realized he probably isn't 6 months, but more like 4 months. He was TINY when I got him.

17. Is the frog wild caught or captive bred?
Captive.

18. Frog food- how often and if it is diverse, what other feeders are used as treats?
He only eats dubias and crickets. Crickets once a week.

19. How often the frog is handled?
Every day ONLY to put in feeding bin.

20. Is the enclosure kept in a high or low traffic area?
Low.

21. Describe enclosure maintenance (water changes, cleaning, etc)
Water change every day, cleaning when I feel it's dirty.

Purified water still needs to be treated with dechlorinator to remove chloramines. If you mixed shredded coco with it; will need to replace substrate ASAP.

Your Pixie has P. edulis traits to include white spot on tympani, broken dorsal ridges, distance between eye and tympani, and small size. Was it sold to you as a Giant and by whom? Thank you !

It's crystal geyser water, Is that okay? And other users told me that he/she has traits of both a giant and small pyxie frog. My frog had the blue/grey hind leg coloring when it was a baby. It was sold to me by the east bay vivarium in Berkeley CA. And yes, sold as a giant burrowing bullfrog.
