    Default Edgar isn't really growing....

    Hi!
    Ive had my little guy Edgar for 6 months now and he hasn't grown much at all. I got him when he was about an inch and a quarter and now he's only about 2 and a half inches. I'm going to switch to worms soon, but he's always been fine with crickets. What could be wrong? (I'll fill out the form thing in a sec)
    1. Size of enclosure- 10 Gallon
    2. # of inhabitants - Just 1 (Edgar)
    3. Humidity- 70-80%
    4. Temperature- 78-82F
    5. Water - type - for both misting and soaking dish- Conditioned tap water
    6. Materials used for substrate Eco earth
    7. Enclosure set up i.e. plants (live or artificial), wood, bark and other materials. Artificial plants, a ceramic hidey hut thing
    - How were things prepared prior to being put into the viv- Soaked in hot water
    8. Main food source- Crickets but I'd like to switch just don't know how.
    9. Vitamins and calcium? (how often)- Daily
    10. Lighting- Just a lamp in the room, not UVB

    12. When is the last time he/she ate- Today
    13. Have you found poop lately- No, about 2-3 weeks ago.
    14. A pic would be helpful including frog and enclosure (any including cell phone pic is fine) I'll get one later
    15. Describe frog's symptoms and/or recent physical changes; to include it's ventral/belly area.- None really just isn't growing
    16. How old is the frog- About 7-8 months
    17. How long have you owned him/her- 6 months
    18. Is the frog wild caught or captive bred- I don't know
    19. Frog food- how often and if it is diverse, what other feeders are used as treats- Just 8 crickets every other day
    20. How often the frog is handled- Never
    21. Is the enclosure kept in a high or low traffic area- Low
    22. Describe enclosure maintenance (water changes, cleaning, etc)
    -Water changes happen weekly (the water dries up daily), I change substrate monthly

    All seems fine, can you pls specify vitamins and ca and how are you using them?

    you need to feed babies every day, and as much as they can eat per feeding, do you gut load crickets? Smth is off
    Can you post a pc?
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Repashy calcium plus is what I use. I do gut load the crickets for at least 24 hours before I feed them to him. So should I feed him daily? I did until he got to 2 inches and then switched to every other day. I'll post a pic tomorrow because it's late here.
