White's tree frog not eating

[ChrissyBee]

Well last night I added a night heat lamp to bring the temp up a little. Then I put a hornworm in when I knew he was awake and watching from his perch. Waited a while and he didn't eat it, found it alive and well in the tank this morning

I guess the next step is to take him out and have a good look at him, try a honey bath too.

Hope the honey bath helps! Let us know how it works out

Great news

I decided to try once more last night to feed him before attempting the bath. I put a hornworm right in front of his face and....success! He ate it up. I'm so relieved. I was starting to really worry about the little guy.

Great ! I be you are relieved.

I am! I do have a question about temperatures, just to make sure I have things in his habitat comfortable for him.

I checked the digital thermometer and during the day his tank is around 23 C, which I'm thinking may be a little too low? Since I added the night light, the evening temp is 25 C, which is good but now it's warmer than the day! So I am guessing I should increase the daytime temp to 28 or 29? It would be easy enough to do with a more powerful light.

Yay! Good froggle!

You definitely want it warmer in the daytime and a few degrees less at night. You could bump it up that way, but be sure to monitor it carefully and also make sure humidity doesn't drop too low. If he doesn't poo after that hornworm I'd definitely give him the honey bath.
