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

[Strider18]

I would do as irThumper suggested and soak in non flavored pedialyte and water. Most frogs can't resist earthworms or nightcrawlers. Keep us updated!

Follow the suggestions on the pedialyte soak. Distilled water is only good for misting the tank but they need spring, rain or treated tap water for soaking. I personally use rain water that I have collected. My WTF won't eat earthworms or nightcrawlers, but they LOVE butter or wax worms. Do not feed meal worms since they are harder to digest and he/she is so skinny you don't want to put any more strain on the frog. My main feeders are red runner roaches. Better nutrition and softer exoskeletons. Good luck.

Where can I get info on these red runners and who sells them? How do they compare to Dubias? I found some Dubias at Petco but don't know how long they've been in the store, and they let everything die there, so...

Oh, and if you give him a soak with declorinated water and unflavored pedialyte, it wouldn't hurt to make sure the water's lukewarm, ( about 80-85 degrees F.) That way if he isn't eating because he's impacted the warm bath might unstop him. (i've found the best way to give mine a bath is in a shallow box with a lid so he can't jump out.)

I get my red runners from Red Runners (Turkish Roaches) and B. Lateralis Roaches - Red Runners. Both are great places. None of my frogs or toads like the dubias, but they LOVE the red runners.
