I just did the honey bath now. I wanted to wait on that so he could get as much alone time away from the scary human to hopefully distress and eat. But it is odd, if he was eating at the pet store, that he hasn't pooped yet for me, isn't it? He peed in the water, I believe, but no poop (colored mucusy stuff in the water). He doesn't like me much right now.I have him back in his enclosure. I'll watch to see if he goes soon. Petsmart said he hadn't been there long. Maybe two moves (to the pet store and then to my home) in as many weeks was too much stress for the little guy.
He is just getting natural sunlight hours now. I like to keep the summer/winter light going for my reptiles but I can put a light on him for longer days if that will help make him feel more comfortable.
When I try to feed him the worms/roaches I don't want to go to far because I don't want them burrowing and me not being sure if he ate it or not. I have been trying to keep it dark for him when feeding thinking he might be a shy eater. I have been leaving one cricket with him overnight every night and then taking it out in the morning.
1. Size of enclosure -- 5 gallon
2. # of inhabitants - specifically other frogs and size differences -- Just him
3. Humidity -- 80%+
4. Temperature -- Low 80s during the day, 75 ambient at night.
5. Water - type - for both misting and soaking dish -- Tap water with Reptisafe
6. Materials used for substrate -- Coconut
7. Enclosure set up i.e. plants (live or artificial), wood, bark and other materials. -- Wood for hiding and fake plants. Water bowl he can get in and out of on the cool side of the tank.
- How were things prepared prior to being put into the viv. -- Not really much. I rinsed them but probably should have done a vinegar water soak. Everything is new and not reused from the reptiles. Maybe I should have baked the wood but it was a new piece sealed in a bag sold for hermit crabs.
8. Main food source -- Trying to be dubias. Hasn't eaten yet. :-p
9. Vitamins and calcium? (how often) -- I'm dusting with the Osteo-Form SA Calcium-Phosphorus with Vitamins Powder and Vionate. Use those with the leopard geckos. Every other meal if he'd eat. (is that alright?)
10. Lighting -- Daylight. There is a window in the reptile room I let light in during the day.
11. What is being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure -- Heat tape on the side plugged into a thermostat. Temps are taken inside tank on top of substrate close to the heat source.
12. When is the last time he/she ate -- To my knowledge, last Monday. I was told he ate at the pet store but there was a cricket in there with him.
13. Have you found poop lately -- No
14. A pic would be helpful including frog and enclosure (any including cell phone pic is fine)
15. Describe frog's symptoms and/or recent physical changes; to include it's ventral/belly area. -- Looks fine, just not eating yet.
16. How old is the frog -- Unsure
17. How long have you owned him/her -- One week.
18. Is the frog wild caught or captive bred -- Unsure.
19. Frog food- how often and if it is diverse, what other feeders are used as treats -- Once he's eating most everyday is good for him tell he gets older (right?). Crickets/dubias. How often should I give other foods? I also have nightcrawlers wax worms, and pinkies to offer him.
20. How often the frog is handled -- Not at all yet except for the honey bath. Most likely only when I need to do a full cleaning.
21. Is the enclosure kept in a high or low traffic area -- Low
22. Describe enclosure maintenance (water changes, cleaning, etc) -- My plan is to spot clean daily (no poops yet) and full clean once a month. That's how I do my snakes but if that's not right let me know. Water change, when it's dirty which is most everyday because he gets dirt in it. :-p
