    Default Re: Pixie Frog not eating

    I will try out the honey bath. Although I am pretty sure he will not let me massage his right side, I will try and get him into the bath. He can be weird at times where he will not eat his food yet as soon as you go to touch him he gets very aggressive. Cant get a pic up of his enclosure but it is pretty basic. Coco fibre substrate, plant to hide under, proper sized water dish, and a few heat pads on the side. Here is the answers to the list of questions you gave me in case I missed anything when I read over the care sheets again.

    1. Size of enclosure: 20g, if he starts moving around more I will upgrade.
    2. # of inhabitants -
    specifically other frogs and size differences: Just the one.
    3. Humidity:
    around 80% give or take
    4. Temperature:
    Managed to get it up to around 75 on the cool side and along with 85 on the warm side.
    5. Water - type -
    for both misting and soaking dish: Well water, no chemicals added although has a bit of iron in it. All my other frogs have been fine for a long time with it, along with him before this.
    6. Materials used for substrate:
    Coco fibre
    7. Enclosure set up i.e. plants (live or artificial), wood, bark and other materials.
    A plant for him to hide under and a water dish on the other side. If I put to much stuff in he will stay up all night rearranging things to the way he likes. :P
    - How were things prepared prior to being put into the viv.
    8. Main food source:
    Nightcrawlers when he will eat.
    9. Vitamins and calcium? (how often)
    I try for every 2-4 feedings, although at times when he wont eat I can dust one and he gets excited and started, so up to 1 worm per feeding depending.
    10. Lighting:
    Ceramic heat emmiter for heat along with lights in the room so he knows its day time.
    11. What is being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure:
    1-2 heat pads and a cerammic heat emmiter. House is cold most of the time so it can be hard to keep the heat up. The fogger also generates heat to warm up the cool side a bit.
    12. When is the last time he/she ate:
    4 days ago.
    13. Have you found poop lately:
    Not in quite a while.
    14. A pic would be helpful including frog and enclosure (any including cell phone pic is fine)
    15. How old is the frog:
    A year and a half
    16. How long have you owned him/her:
    I got him as a baby and have kept him ever since.
    17. Is the frog wild caught or captive bred:
    Not a clue, I am assuming wild caught as the season played a large role in the time that I could get him.
    18. Frog food- how often and if it is diverse, what other feeders are used as treats:
    Pinky mice occasionally.
    19. How often the frog is handled:
    Just about never, only when neccasary as he normally is very aggresive with me.
    20. Is the enclosure kept in a high or low traffic area:
    Very low traffic, only me on the computer along with some other frogs in the room.
    21. Describe enclosure maintenance (water changes, cleaning, etc):
    Whenever it needs it, every day if he is using his dish often and the dirt is changed every month or so depending on what it looks like.
