    Ahh Thank you Carlos, That really means a lot that he can be out here with us. I will bring his aquarium out with us tonight. I just got through working and am about to mix the melafix and tend to him. I put a small larger male cricket in his tank in hopes that it chirps and gets his attention. Still no luck in eating. Thank you silkmoth yes the ped worked it give him some strength to hop a few times. I wish they had some sort of cricket broth for them too. Being able to have him beside me all day to keep an eye on him will be good. I work from home and all my frog terrariums are around me. He will be near the window he used to live at outside. He used to look inside at me and my other frogs. I let them sit on my desk at night and I pray the little guy gets his eye sight back in the one eye. Ohh wow you had mantids, that is unique. I bet they were sweet. I will tend to and take wonderful care of this little guy. I've been praying for a miraculous recovery as I do believe in miracles. I'm going fly catching tomorrow and see if that may help.

    You guys saved my frog! Thank you all. This morning I gave him a ped bath, sprayed him and his tank with melafix. Then I caught some flies and he ate one! He was refusing the crickets, so when I brushed his mouth with the fly he opened wide. So I tried a medium size cricket and he ate it too! I am the happiest person alive today. This frog has a new home living inside. I'm off to buy him a new hide and a a branch or two. Thank you all! His new name is "Carlos Silkmoth" .

    Thank you so much, here is a picture of the little guy. I think one of my other frogs is jealous, I tell him he is still number one frog.
