Came Home With These

agh cleaned the tank today a bit found 4 live crickets in there so they have not eating as 1st thought... on a slighly sad ote how long before the little guys starve to death?

comeing up to 3 weeks now they must have settled by now!

Al, Take a few photos so we can at least see the weight on them. Also touch their sides slightly to make sure they arnt filled with air/water sometimes that makes them look a little fatter... just keep a good eye on them and if they get too skinny/non active in ur opinion it may be time to feed them

Heres some pics while they were sleeping

[Chaya]

they are definitely skinnier than when you first got them. They dont seem too bad yet so keep trying the crickets and keep a close eye on them

[BigBruiserAl]

Thanks jess, i moved down to small crickets in case the med were to big for them. I just leave the bowl in he tank now with crickets in just in case

[Chaya]

thats what i have been trying recently too... tonight is feeding night for mine again...

I am so sorry your little frogs are doing the same thing. Have you had any parasite testing done on them since you got them?

No finding it hard in the uk to find help on this, plus as they were happy and healthy in the petstore for the 4 months i assume it someting i done

Not eating and thinning out, I hate to say it, but its time to see the vet. As nice as it was for the store to give you an Exo-terra, I don't think it will make a bit of difference. There is something medically wrong. Maybe they have an infection or a parasite bloom. Maybe the temperature or the humidity is off target. I don't think tank size has anything to do with it.

Thanks Kurt i have been talking to pretty much every one i can who owns these frogs and i ticked all the box's with temp, humidity tank furniture etc.
Whats confusing is they love a splash in their water bowl and seem friendly and active they just dont eat. Finding a vet in the UK that will see a frog is going to be a tall order

One of our members is a vet in the UK.

I have 3 of these frogs and my males rarely eat, maybe 1 small/medium locust a week, the female however is very greedy and eats what she can get including the boys left overs! Have you tried putting them in seperate simple quarantine style tanks? (paper towel floor, aquarium backing on the outside, 1 fake branch, 1 fake leaf and a small water dish? Try them in that and put 1 or 2 crickets in and see if they go for them.
