    I sent you a text, hopefully it wasn't too late for you. Time change and all.. It's only 6pm here. I'm sure you're a couple hours ahead.

    Esme after her force feeding. It took 25 minutes and sheer stress on both our parts, but I got her to eat a worm. She seems to still be finishing up shedding, not that you can really tell by these pics.

    Patience is key. You can wait a day and then force feed again. This will allow a day of rest and no stress.

    UPDATE: Esme ate! Then she ate again!! she's hanging in there. I know winter is not an easy time for frog keeping, and judging from other posts, I'm not the only who has gone through this. I'm trying to not worry so much about her. Thanks again everyone for all the help though!

    Great to hear, btw, I live in Belgium and it's also freezing here, the trick to the heatpad is ducktaping it to the side, completely ducktape of the sides of the heatpad and the heat should be focused better.
    I have my setups this way : 1 heatcable on the left per 3 enclosures (I use a rack system) and 1 heatmat on the side per enclosure. The cable works 24/7, the heatmats work 12 hours a day during the light cycle. My frogs are always at temperatures between 27°-29° and 24°-26° at night.
