    What size is the frog right now? If he's still very small, be sure to offer food daily, also, do you feed with tongs or drop them in? And howmany does he eat per feeding?
    I currently have a newly aquired baby, he eats about 5-7 small nightcrawlers on a daily basis. Once you get him running, I would switch to nightcrawlers. I powder as following : weekdays = calcium +D3 every other day, so if you feed every other day, every feeding = calcium. On the weekends I offer multi vitamins on either saturday or sunday. Always give them a day in between supplements and never mix them, one slows down the intake of the other.
    Hope everything goes well!

    Off the top of my head i would say he is 1.5-2 inches, the guy i rescued him off said he had him 14 months but as i said in an earlier post i'm unsure whether to believe that as i doubt it would have survived that long in the housing conditions he had them in.

    I have done a mixture of both, fed him with tongs and left a couple in the tank to see if they disappear over night. He has had 3 crickets by hand feeding although it does take a while until he grabs hold of the cricket and i have noticed one, possibly two crickets i have left in the tank have gone missing over night, that is everything he has eaten since i rescued him on Friday. ok, i will powder as you say. Got to make sure the little guy survives, doesn't sound like he is eating as much as he should but at least he is eating something (the first day he ate nothing and could barely stand) and has made an improvement since i rescued him, fingers crossed he is on the up!

    It does sound like an improvement! They can be a little reluctant to eat, especially if they are doing bad. I would honestly try tong feeding him, if he's a little picky, rub the prey from left to right against his lower lip. (Make sure if your using crickets, to remove he jumping legs and rub using the butt, mine always hate the legs grabbing onto the face) At that size, I would offer food daily. I have a baby and it's 2", 2" can't be 14 months old.
    Be sure to post an update when something changes!
