Gray isn't eating and his underside looks pinkish

And I just found this!

I should also mention that he seems much less sickly today... Before when I tried to hand feed him, he ignored me completely and sometimes didn't even open his eyes... A minute ago I tried poking his nose with a roach and he immediately woke up, swatted it away with his hands quite aggressively, and then jumped across the tank. Also his colors seem much better and he's even got a hint of green on his sides.

I just read your threads about garlic as an appetite enhancer... Do you think it's worth a shot? I knew garlic has an effect on fish but I didn't know it worked on reptiles and amphibians too... Although I would think that frogs, being visual hunters, would really need to taste the garlic for it to work so that doesn't really help me...

just get him some crickets. Poor guy probably has parasites. I doubt garlic will do anything except upset him.

Well, actually garlic does have anti- parasite properties... Not that it worked to make him eat. I didn't expect it to, since frogs have a very weak sense of smell. Although I did test some boiled garlic dunked roaches out on my other frogs and salamanders and it definitely had an effect after they tasted one...
I don't think getting him crickets would do anything. He doesn't show any apparent interest in moths.
what are the other typical symptoms of parasites, besides not eating? (Which doesn't make a lot of sense to me, since that's not really in the parasite's best interests...)

I was just observing him with a red flashlight and I saw him turn his head to watch a moth crawl past. He didn't eat it but that at least shows that some tiny rudiment of his hunting instinct is present...

He did not eat last night. It looks like all the moths are still there.
i was considering giving him a honey bath, but it turns out the honey has fermented... Last thing I need is a frog who's sick and drunk...
