Red Eye Tree Frog Not Eating!

[irThumper]

hello welcome to FF i also just bought a red eyed tree frog and had the same experience my frog hadnt eaten in 5 days i got so worried that i force fed him one cricket after that he started hunting on his own also, the humidity should be at least 70% if not higher frogs tend to do better at higher humiditys id recomend force feeding one cricket because red eyed tree frogs can die after 7 days of not eating best of luck ,trent

Some frogs can tolerate higher humidity (like Darts) and others, like White's, can handle lower humidity. RETF's, according to my research, should do perfectly well at 60-75%, but above 80% for great lengths of time are not recommended. The source says they spend the majority of their time in areas of the canopy where they get plenty of air flow and so do not have highly concentrated areas of dense humidity. Air flow helps to regulate it, so you don't want to be sealing up all the vents and socking the humidity to the enclosure.

I disagree on the force feeding. She's only had her 6 days and that's not a long enough period of time to be worried about the frog enough to force feed; I would only do that in an extreme emergency or with an emicated (sp?) frog, which Dreamz frog obviously is not. Force feeding is just going to cause more stress, and stress is a killer of frogs
