    Default Hunger Strike (WTF)

    Awe!! Mine were bad about that, and would pee in my poor boyfriend he got pretty offended in that note and declared he would no longer be handling what he calls pissing whites. Lol, they seem to have a love/hate relationship. But as much as he swears he hates them, he's the first to refill the mister with their bottled water. Lol, especially these days. Getting around at 8 months is slightly difficult. Mr. Frog gave me a heck of a work out when I went to open his QT to clean out poop. He makes a beeline for the exit and always jumps at my chest. xD my poor fiancé he's convinced Mr. Frog is a perv and was some old man in his past life. Lol, I think he's a stubborn frog, and much like yours he absolutely fights going back in the cage. Crawling up my arm, jumping onto my head, anything he can do to stay out longer.

    My original two well they get upset when I transfer them to the feeding container for feeding time, but always quickly forgive me. I give them a wet wipe down, and let them crawl off my hand back into their setup. Lol, Mr. Greene and his unique toes get extra attention, he doesn't seem to mind too much except when I'm trying to get a cricket leg off his head and then he pees in my hand. 0.0 hrs a true pig. Tried taking on 3 crickets at one time. I switched him down from large back to mediums. Lol, I'm always paranoid he's going to impact himself eating too much at once. /).(\ But he eats them down and leaves gigantic nuggets for me to pick up. Lol. I did get to see Mr. Frog and Mr. Greene do their call after feeding time. Though the last one, I assume the lady, so I've started calling her Miss Lady, lol she didn't show much interest in the calls, but didn't croak or call so I assume a female.

    Would you please summarize on what's happening and what is a problem?

    What i got is:
    1. You are trying to feed 1.5" whites frog pinhead crickets and friut flies? If so get bigger food.
    2. It's in quarantine, please describe how it looks like exactly, what you are doing during that time.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    I was wondering about the pinheads and fruit flies also. Most frogs won't go after food that appears too small to them.

    I've noticed the same. Itty bitty bugs become beneath their notice. This guy is big enough for small dubai, small to medium-small crickets, waxworms, small-medium small butterworms and small hornworms. Fruit flies and pinheads would be a waste.
    Mom to these fine frogs!

    This little frog is almost the exact same size as my wtf Steve and I've found that Petsmart's small crickets are the perfect size for him (or small dubias ordered online). At least at my local store the Petco smalls are exceptionally tiny (closer to pinheads) and their mediums are just a bit too big, but Petsmart hit the goldilocks "just right" with their small crickets.
