    1. Size of enclosure 30x30x30 (11.8x11.8x11.8) (Kept him smaller, moved him to this one today)
    2. # of inhabitants - specifically other frogs and size differences Only him
    3. Humidity 85%
    4. Temperature 28° day, 24° night time
    5. Water - type - for both misting and soaking dish Dechlorinated tap, reptisafe
    6. Materials used for substrate Eco-earth
    7. Enclosure set up i.e. plants (live or artificial), wood, bark and other materials. 3 sides taped off with jungle paper, exo-terra waterdish, a giant plant in the middle that hangs on the sides.
    - How were things prepared prior to being put into the viv. Always scrub out the enclosure, do the eco-earth with dechlorinated water.
    8. Main food source Store told me it's used to locusts, so have only attempted locusts so far.
    9. Vitamins and calcium? (how often) Calcium 3x a week, multivitamines 1x a week, but it's hard to control the intake with the irregular eating.
    10. Lighting Small led light shining from above, 12 hours a day.
    11. What is being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure UTH, on the side of the enclosure.
    12. When is the last time he/she ate Week ago.
    13. Have you found poop lately Yes, but only rabbit sized pellets since I've gotten him/her.
    14. A pic would be helpful including frog and enclosure (any including cell phone pic is fine) Attached below.
    15. How old is the frog No idea.
    16. How long have you owned him/her +- 3 weeks.
    17. Is the frog wild caught or captive bred Assuming wildcaught.
    18. Frog food- how often and if it is diverse, what other feeders are used as treats Not diverse at all, wanted to get him eating on the main staple they provided him, locusts. Offerd daily.
    19. How often the frog is handled In the 3 weeks I've owned him, I've handled him twice. Once to add him to his setup, and today to relocate him to a new setup.
    20. Is the enclosure kept in a high or low traffic area Medium traffic, but it shouldn't bother him, he's on a high shelf and in a private room.
    21. Describe enclosure maintenance (water changes, cleaning, etc) Daily : waterchanges and offering food and removing uneaten food, spotcleaning. Full clean once a month.

    I'd also like to add, the store told me a fecal was done, I don't mind doing another one, but it's a pretty respectable store.I could try offering a mix of food tonight, dubias, locusts and some crickets.
    And I could also try offering a mouse tomorrow, but since he's not tong trained and refuses any kind of it, I would have to drop it in live and that's what woudl bother me the most.Also, I haven't seen reptaboost anywhere around here, so I'd assumingly have to order it online and it will take some weeks to get here, so would there be an alternate solution I could consider?

    Edit: I've looked repta boost up and I'm unable to get it here, Ebay and amazon won't ship it to Belgium and petco charges 30$ for shipping alone.

    A small update, it seems one of the dubias has allready dissapeared. So he has eaten something, I'm hoping by the time I wake up tomorrow, more will be missing.
    I'm curious if it was the change of enviroment, the food variety or the honey bath boost that triggered this. Or perhaps the combination of several. I'l keep offering a variety of food daily from now on, and see if the situation improves even more. If anyone from Europe has a good tip on how to get some flukers repta boost, I'd greatly appreaciate it!

    Dubia burrow so this is probably the problem.
