Gray Tree Froglet sitting on the bottom & wont move!

[newfrogirl]

I have a gray tree froglet that lost his tail about 10 days ago. He is in a terrarium with coconut fiber, tall plants and sticks (exo terra). he has a water bowl, and the temp is 75 degrees. the humidity is about 70-80. The first few days I had him in his new home he was on the tall plants, and moved around. For the last 3 days he has been sitting in one spot on the bottom, and hardly moves. I have never seen him eat, but I assume he is since he is still alive. I put fruit flies in daily. What is wrong with him? Why wont he move around. He is covered in the substrate, and I am worried it makes it hard for him to climb. He does not look happy to me. He has also gotten darker in color, almost the color of the dark brown substrate. This was the best picture I could get of him without disturbing him. Help please! *On another note, how often do you change coconut fiber substrate? Thanks!

I should also mention that I am not positive he is a gray tree frog. I got tadpoles online, and the sellers guess is that it is a gray tree frog (they came from Florida). He is definitely a tree frog, he has always been light brown in color with a lighter underside). Also, I do use spring water for him that I change daily. He currently has no lighting, because I didn't know the set up didn't come with a bulb. A bulb is on the way though. He has an under tank heating pad, but I don't think it does much through the substrate. I haven't dusted his food, because I just read about that today.

Well I think you are off to a good start but if you could put him in the water dish to wash off
and get a good picture from the top and the side, I am sure some one here can correctly identify your new baby.

You might want to carefully move the UTH to one of the sides.
since if the heater gets too warm and water spills on the hot glass it might shatter.

OK thanks, I moved the heater. Here are better photos. Also, sorry if I am asking too many questions, but I also have another tadpole that is just starting to grow legs. Will they be able to share a home, or will the baby I have now be big enough to eat the new one. Thanks again!

Don't worry, ask all the questions you want,
That is what this forum is for.

Since it is so small I really can't tell if it is a grey tree frog or a cuban tree frog.

Just keep the Temp and humidity where they are and I think your little one will be fine.

Hopefully you have the flightless fruit flies.
you also could put a small glass dish buried into the substrate so the top of the dish is level with the substrate
and put some pinhead crickets in the dish.

The rule of thumb for feeding prey to a frog is food that is no bigger than the space in-between its eyes.

also frogletts this small that just came out of the water from being a tadpole don't eat right away.

take a deep breath, new frog parents tend to panic. I know I did.

Do to the reddish eyes I'm going with cuban tree frog. The eyes turn gold over time.
