    Well if he was feeling bad he probably wouldn't have chowed down like that so I'm less worried. Maybe he got temporarily stressed out, and is feeling better now? On the other hand my frog is lazy even by my standards, but I've read some of these guys are active enough to climb up and out of their tanks by wedging their fat little selves in the corner and struggling hard, so maybe your frog was just trying to escape?

    Hope he continues to show good signs. Good luck.

    Well whatever was going on with him the other night didn't happen last night other then spending an inordinately long time sitting in the water dish starting at me as I sat at my computer he was even still out of the substrate this morning at lights on and I was able to get a picture..not all that great because of the cell phone but still he looks ok, just wish I could get a bit more weight on him.

    cjbage: That sounds like good news. Must have had some indigestion. Would good old Garden worms fill him out? I feed them to my Tropical fish to ripen the females for spawning.

    I am not sure, I will be trying to feed him worms again here in a few days when I go out again, the first time he wouldn't eat them just kept backing away from the pieces of worms each time that section would reach out n touch his face, honestly before that he probably never seen a worm in his short little life, the petstore kept him in a tiny keeper in the same bin as a water dragon, the lady I got him from told me the ones that worked in the reptile area just tosses in a few cricket sprays the tank then leaves.

    So crickets is all he had known, I am going to try Dubia again also, he didn't want those either but it may have been because they were so small, he seems to bypass even smallish crickets and goes for ones about the size of the spacing between his eyes so I have to keep scooping out the small ones and putting them in a container to hopefully get them larger for him.

    I also have a package of Pac Man food coming from Samurai-Reptiles Japan to try, alot of people have had good sucess with that if their pac's take to it.

    His appetite seems to be ok, last night he chowed down on 11 of the crickets I put in there lol so yeah he is eating and the crickets get a decent gutload what with the premium mix and the different things that the recipe I use for additional ingredients, funny thing is they don't seem to want to eat the lettuce and shredded carrots I put in there

    Every time there is a big barometric drop, my Pyxie gets all spunky and active too. Especially when a juvenile it would bounce all over the place and bang into the terrarium sides. Haven't seen that in my pacmans yet, but they are only a few months old and we've only had 1 real low pressure system come through since I got them.

    We are definitely having strange weather here, the last 3-4 days were nice, sunny a bit cold nothing major.. woke up to snow this morning and its still snowing outside, Cedar is buried in the substrate not as deep but like he usually is with his head out so whatever was going on he/she got over it or just gave up trying to get out lol.

    I believe your frog may have pooped and you may not have noticed. They will usually through a fit to get your attension to remove the poop.
