    Default frog not eating

    Hi, I have a Horned Frog who will not eat on by it`s self, if I put food in it`s mouth it will eat it.
    I have just put the temp up to 75 - 85 as I think it was to low.
    I keep the frog in a bedding of Terrarium moss about 2" inch`s deep, in a large glass tank.
    I also spray the frog 3 to 4 times a day (depending how warm it is) with water that as had the chlorine etc removed.
    The frog is about 12 weeks old.

    Like Grif said, answer the Trouble in the Enclosure questions. But you should replace the moss with cocofiber (like EcoEarth). If they eat the moss by accident they can become impacted and die.

    If everything is correct husbandry-wise and he has no other issues, he may just be used to eating that way. I had to rub food on my frog's face for months to get her to eat while she was recovering from an illness, and now she won't take food any other way.
