Giant AF still not eating

[MyKindOfLullaby]

I need to edit this; It could be a reason why. If it starts excessively shedding, then there is something else going on.

It is indeed a giant.

So this is not normal for my frog to shed like that?

Use dechlorinated tap water. How often would you say you cleaned it's enclosure? It should be at least once a month. Some frogs don't like being moved into a separate feeding bin. Mine will only eat in his cage so maybe yours is sick of being handled everyday. I think its a giant like most have mentioned.

Purified crystal geyser is not okay water to use? I'll get dechlorinator stuff today. I clean it's enclosure probably about 2 times a month. I use dubia roaches for feeding, so they burrow into the dirt if I feed in the cage. When my frog was a baby I fed in the cage but she was eating substrate so I stopped feeding in there.

PLEASE READ***

I picked up some dechlorifing stuff from petsmart. I rinsed everything down with the dechlorified water and mixed new substrate with the water as well. I put my frog in a dish with the new water and changed it twice. She's now taking a honey bath. Hopefully this will fix the problem. Any advice or thoughts? (So crystal geyser has chlorine in it???)

Right now she is a pale green color and I'm hoping she'll return to her dark green color tomorrow.

Have you tried changing up it's diet a little? Try offering him/her a small pinkie, or hornworms always get a lot of interest from my pets. I would even try a few superworms.

Those random change of colors could be the frog toxing out from the untreated water. I would make sure everything is treated and that you give your frog a bath with just treated water so it can rinse off and detox.

I would definitely try superworms. They are my frogs favourite food but don't give too many because they aren't very nutritious.

I agree on the hornworms. Especially if they are the blue colored (fed artificial diets) because the color is striking and most animals won't refuse. I am about to feed my GABF some hornworms that I have raised and they are basically chunky blue candy treats.

I would definitely try superworms. They are my frogs favourite food but don't give too many because they aren't very nutritious.

Agreed, dust these with calcium because they have a low Ca:P ratio. You could gut load these with wheat germ, carrots, or anything else nutritious to help out a little. My frog absolutely loves these and on days when she won't take a dubia roach or a canadian nightcrawler she will almost always jump at a wriggling superworm.

First I put her in treated water and she squirted old water out. Then I put in her in more treated water and 10 minutes later I added honey to it. She's still a pale green right now.

Dechlorinated tap water is fine for frogs. Some owners think they are going one step further and use other water sources thinking it's going to be better and accidentally make it worse.

Water bottling companies have to meet certain city codes of purity and how they go about it can alter the water so it's unsafe for frogs. The bottle might say "spring" but it's rarely pure spring and many times there is some processing involved.

In the case of Cristal Geyser think the problem is aggressive filtration to reach very low mineral contents. Then the water, although safe to use for human drinking, becomes unsafe for frogs. In that water frogs would loose minerals to the water creating chemical imbalances that affect the frog's physiological processes and create a health issues similar to when R/O or distilled water is in use.

So my recommendation is to use treated tap for your frog. If local water is hard and leaves water spots on glass when spraying can use distilled for spraying but avoid spraying frog directly with it.

If this was the cause or it contributed to frogs issues it should get better; but be aware it could take some time since frogs heal slowly. Good luck !

Thank you for your help! She's still a pale green color and she didn't eat tonight. How long do you think she could go without eating? I'm scared she's going to starve herself
