Fish could also be offered but there's risk of disease. Superworms are another thing you can feed but not too often and be sure to gutload and supplement them as they have a bad Ca:P ratio.

Place the thermometer right at the floor to get a good reading and go for the digital type. Even with the proper temps and humidity the frog may still sense the change in seasons. For an example, even though my bearded dragon is kept at the same temps and photoperiod he has became less active and hiding most of the time, animals just seem to know. Be sure to maintain the proper photoperiod of 12:12 with a fluorescent bulb if you're not using a daylight heat lamp.

hope that helps

Thanks for the reply. I know they do eat less as they age, but he has not eaten in over a week. I dont know but I dont think this is normal? His staple for a long time was night cralwers (dusted with calcium and vitamins) and the odd horned worm every 2 weeks or so. I do have a Thermometer and Hydrometer about an inch off the substrate floor and I keep him on a 12/12 night /day cycle. Like I said i have not changed anything in how I keep him since he was a baby frog and he has grown up nicely with this setup.

How long should I wait before force feeding him again? I was doing it once a week but I would like to stop that. I am trying to wait 2 weeks this time to see if he will eat. I have bought a mouse for him and so far he has refused it. Its like he doesn't even see it, no reaction at all. I hope in another week (it would have been 2 weeks by then) he would eat the mouse.
