    Default White's Tree Frog Not Eating..... Need some advice.

    A friend of mine just gave me his smaller WTF. He said he moved them to a larger habitat and purchased to other frogs at the same time. The one that isn't eating is about half the size of the others. It has been about 2-3 weeks since he last saw him eat. He seems to move around the terrarium OK, but he is skinny... I have since taken the frog and just purchased a smaller terrarium and supplies to try to rehab this guy. I have no herp vet close to me, so I am going to give this guy another couple weeks and then I will go from there. I have tried to feed with tongs and held the cricket for at least 10 minutes and he has not moved. Just doesn't seem interested. My larger terrarium houses 3 large WTF, that is why I didn't just add him to that one. Here are some pictures of him and his new place. Questions answered.
