Is my White's underweight?

You can try feeding wax worms to him, they are high in fat and are good for putting on some wait.

1beataway is right, I talked to her for a couple hours in the chat room my first night on here, and he wouldnt touch the things for 4 days when I tried to feed them to him. I actually tried putting a couple in his food dish yesterday with a couple crickets to try and "trick" him and he ate everything but the wax worms. I even left the wax worms out in a dish for awhile before I tried giving them to him so they were wiggly. But, there is no tricking him - he had no interest in them at all, little bugger.

It could be the activity level of the waxworms that doesn't appeal to them. Store purchased waxworms barely move, they few I have cultures move like the dickens.

Maybe they don't like the taste, or the tecture. Luigi took the worm right away, but then after a few seconds in his mouth he spit it out. And look disgusted. I have at least 2 other people tell me the same sort of story.

well, I am beginning to figure out that I might just be a lot paranoid . but better safe then sorry is a motto that I live by. Anywho, does anyone know how I can tell if my whites is a male or female, based on the knowledge that I have so far. Which is pretty much the size (2 5/6), only hearing one croakish sound, and the fact that right now Kermit is a hog and eating a ton (which could just be due to the fact that he is hungry). Oh, and I know that some males have gray on their throat but not all do right? Mine has no gray in that area at all.

From what I've read, it's hard to distinguish. I always find statements like, "The females are slightly larger," "The males have a slightly darker throat," and "During breeding, the male may have brown pads on his feet." And I believe both male and female can croak, though the male will do it anytime and the female will do it as an answer, and that can make it hard to distinguish.

I do not know what I have.

K, well thanks anyway
