Thanks so much for the helpful advice and the videoI actually have been doing the Pedialyte soaks for the last 3 days, but have been wary of the whole hand-feeding idea. I know frogs can go a few days without eating, so I wasn't sure if treating the leg should be a priority or trying to get him to eat...I know all of this is very stressful on him already so I didn't want to add even more to it. Honestly, with the extent of his injury, I wasn't really expecting him to be around this long and I was prepared to have him euthanized if he got any worse; however, now that he has been around this long with no obvious decline, I guess its time to try to do something about the lack of nutrition. If he hasn't eaten anything by tomorrow, I will try your hand feeding method and let you know how it goes...I picked up a few crickets from the pet store the other day in hopes he would eat one on his own, but I'm down to my last one (two were two big and I accidentally killed two while trying to de-leg them...poor remaining cricket has been legless for 2 days now, I feel guilty whenever I see him). Does it make any difference whether I try to feed him during the day or night? The green frogs in my pond always seem to be awake and active, but do you think I would have better success trying to get him to eat when its dark?
