If your worried when you transfer him from the 2.5 into a 10 that it may freak him out abit you can always put a divider in the middle then its split into to 5gallons. There is a lot of people that do it this way instead of going out and having to buy 2 or 3 different sized tanks.

I went today and got the 10 gallon and a heat lamp :-) tomorrow I will get a better thermometer and hydrometer and some plants for the new tank :-) I feel a bit better about things now. Thanks for reassuring me everyone!

Let us know how things go and watch the the heat lamp as your temps are already really good, don't want things too hot now, 84 max. You shouldn't need any plants, just a piece of cork bark would be ideal or a plant pot. Good luck!

I got a cage type fixture for the heat lamp, so it will be off the tank by about 10 inches and it is on a dimmer. Hopefully that keeps things nice and warm but not TOO warm.

Just an update:
I moved Ganesh to the ten gallon tank that has a hide, fake plants, and a very large, shallow water dish. He burrowed right away and seemed happy. Then, because in the past he had eaten crickets, I got some large crickets and put them in. He scarfed them down. He seems to be happy. I have a heat lamp on him that is very gentle and keeps the tank about 80 degrees, and he is being misted about three times a day (I live in Colorado, keeping humidity requires misting very often). All in all, he seems happy and is eating Thanks everyone for the tips and suggestions!

I'm glad to see this was resolved and your frog began to eat again. Other members did a great job assisting you and provided you with good options. I can honestly tell you that they will refuse to eat sometimes and with nothing wrong with the frog or the environment. Some have even been known to fast until they loss a good bit of weight. Always be patient and don't give up. Sometimes it is as simple as feeding time period or selecting a new more active and attractive food source.
