New red eye tree frog and i need advise PLEASE
We picked up our little red eyed tree frog "booger" on Sunday it is now Tuesday and i havent been able to get him to eat, I am starign to get a little worried. So far here is how its gone....
Sunday we put the terrium together as the pet store and sites we read had suggested. Substrate, moss, water dish , jungle vine and a hanging (artificail plant). I put two dusted crickets in the cage they both died and were not eatten. I misted the tank as instructed. Monday morning my little "Booger" was a pale greyish green and had not even moved a bit. AT this point it had been alomst a full 24 hours were the only movement was him opening his eyes when we misted the terrium. We ran to the pet store picked up the heater (we were told want needed) a water fall and the gages for humidity and temp. Now another 24 hours and the tank is staying at about 78 and the humdity is around 70-76%. We have ordered a fogger for the water fall NO pet stores in our area carry them or auto misters. So this morning "Booger" had at leasted moved places and had a much better color to him, that he maintaied all day. BUT i can not get him to eat! I got baby crickets that are smaller than the width of his eyes apart as suggested, i tried putting him in a seperate continer with just him and 3 crickets ... he just climbed up the sided and showed no interest. We have gone step by step with every
help page we could find. Any input would be greatly appricated!!
