I'll be in town tomorrow so I will pick up some pedialyte. I will also put new substrate with the right water in there. Thank you.
    If frog is 3 in. from snout to vent go ahead and leave in 10G. There are dechlorinators that will neutralize metals in water (Seachem Prime or ExoTerra Aquatize). Your human drinking well water should be safe after using those.

    Any unflavored baby electrolyte will work; Walmart sells an off brand at lower cost. You can keep in refrigerator past expiration as long as you do not contaminate contents. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    I used a dechlorinator in the water, replaced his bedding, soaked him in some pedialyte water, and tried night crawlers with him. He still won't eat. I haven't noticed any shedding..he still looks pretty healthy honestly. He's plump and alert. At night he undigs himself a little bit and sits there. So now what?

    How many times have you done the Pedialyte soak and for how long?

    If everything else has been followed and he looks alert and healthy I would just keep offering him food each night. He will eat when he is ready. If you notice him dropping weight that is when you need to have some internal alarms going off.

    Or you dropping the food in there for him or are you tong feeding him??
