Worried about Peggy

[Teh Frog Whisperer]

Peggy hasn't really eaten much lately. She refuses nightcrawlers and the very occasional prekilled mouse, but I think she's been eating some crickets behind my back. Her eyes are sometimes partially shut, but she moves around about as much as a Pacman frog should. Can someone help me out here?

Her eyes are shut while awake at night? That does not sound OK. Have you checked her enclosure parameters to ensure all are OK and the gauges are reading right? How can frog eat crickets behind your back ?

[Teh Frog Whisperer]

What I mean is that she may have been eating some crickets, but I just haven't actually seen her eat. I'll measure the parameters and stuff ASAP.

In the winter they tend to slow down on feeding. She is probably sensing the weather changes. Any other odd behavior?

Nothing really beyond what I already mentioned. What are your thoughts on this, Grif?

Sometimes if the humidity is low they close their eyes. They also will close their eyes when their is an underlying problem. You may want to have a fecal exam done and have her looked at just incase.
