It s just all of a sudden it was yesterday he ate Dubia and some superworm and poop big time left to get him some rat pup in the afternoon and he refuses the food and kinda keep blinking his left eye and kinda scratch it here and there and like I said his kinda lethargic

Do you have a herp vet near you that you can take him to?

He just ate yesterday???? you guy doesnt look like a baby. he can go without food for a week or so when they reach 3-4 inches, no big problem! If his eye gets inflamed then that would be a cause for concern but if you just cleaned his cage and he just ate yesterday then i would give it some time. unless i am getting something wrong here.

Ha ha you got it mixed up my friend what I said is he ate yesterday just one DUBIA and one superworm I run out of them so I went out that afternoon ang get em rat pup coz 1 dubia and one superworm is not enough but he refuse to eat so I ask a friend that is a breeder he told me to

oh, well i still wouldnt be to concerned. once they are about 3-4 inches its not as big of a deal if they miss a meal every once n a while even if it lasts for a week or so (unless its a continuall occuring problem). You said you cleaned the enclosure and that is exactly what i would have done so now just give it some time. make sure also that he has proper heat on him. if the eye becomes inflamed then you may want to get that checked but even that doesnt seem like a big deal. you seem to have a normal African Bullfrog! Great Job!!!! (:

Ty Matt yeah he's not blinking and scratching his left eye as much but I notice he still lethargic one of my friend told me to get Melvin and soak him for a while and make sure that the left eye is getting wet also coz he saids it sounds like bacterial

NO! NO! NO! Please dont do that! If it gets inflamed THEN treat! time will heal most wounds or mild infections! treating for anything and everything is the MAIN reason people kill African pixies all the time! these are VERY hardy animals and as long as their setup is correct they can handle themselves just fine. Please just let time and his immune system work this one out! it makes his immune system better against the next attack!
