Thanks for your reply!! Yes, the substrate is mixed with dechlorinated water and clumps in my hand but doesn't drip out water. My frog is VERY picky about food, won't eat nightcrawlers. I'm going to try crickets tonight even though they aren't very nutritious, I just want to get food in that belly! My frog doesn't seem to be losing weight at all. It acts and looks totally normal. The frog body is about 4 inches roughly.
