    Unhappy New ornate owner needs help!

    Hey Everyone!

    I'm new to frogs and the forum and really need some help desperately

    I have had a female ornate for around two months now and will not eat!! she is approx. a year old and has been fed 3 pinkies a week by the previous owner. The day after she came to us she has a pinkie but has not eaten since. I've been told now she shouldn't be having that many pinkies so have been trying her with crickets, roaches, worms and a pinkie but won't eat anything!...She is in a small glass tank with the two sides covered and a hat mat across the back wall...The temps sit about 25-26c...she has a hide and a water bowl and is in eco earth/coir mix...The substrate is about 4" deep and she just digs down completely covered and doesn't come out...I have dug her up to try and give her some food but she screams and hisses and bites so she is clearly very stressed by me doing this which I'm pretty sure is not going to help with the eating!

    ANY help would be very gratefully received, thanks in advance
