New Whites Tree Frog Not Eating :(

[irThumper]

Good questions, Frogger00!

Welcome aboard, FrogFan89! Your smaller frog reminds me of my Jelly bean when I first got him... he couldn't open his eyes and barely moved for three days He did eat though, but I'd consider that lucky. I think your little guy could be dehydrated, stressed too for sure after the move. I'd place him in a dish of tepid dechlorinated water (up to his chin) with 10% unflavored Pedialyte added and let him soak in that for about 20 minutes or so, this will help rehydrate him and give him electrolytes he needs. Be sure to give them privacy and quiet and not bother or handle them unless necessary over the next few days, and also have plenty of plants and hidey spots for them. Everything else sounds great. I've heard White's tree frogs between 1 1/2" to 2" are about 6 months old, so if yours are smaller, like around an inch, then the age on yours is probably right as well.

This is my Jelly Bean and his friend sHEila (who turned out to be a boy) right after I got them. See how poor Jelly's eyes are closed? He wasn't asleep in these pics either.


This is Jelly Bean a few days later!

OIh and captive bred frogs can and do definitely get parasites... my poor guys are testimony to that, and they come from a very reputable breeder/supplier, but unfortunately came from Petco where they no jack-zippo about what they are doing!

Hey welcome to the awesome world of Tree frogs. Like irthumper said he may be dehydrated. Continue to feed him a variety and he should start eating within a week, new frogs are fragile and they need time to adjust, leave him be and do not handle for a while. If he or she continues to not eat, seek vet help immediately! Also how are you feeding him? Tongs or are you just throwing crickets into there tank. Frogs are different, some will eat out of tongs others wont even go near them. Try both methods and like i said if both aren't working seek medical help
