    You definitely have a COLD Horned frog.. These are tropical frogs that need to stay warm.. You need to have a warm temperature that read between 81F-85F during the day. The lowest you want it to drop is at night 76F and reach up to 80F at night. That is the reason why your frog is not willing to eat.. Don't force feed, just warm your frog up with a heat source, such as a heating pad or incandescent red or black bulb that doesn't produce light. You will have to check the humidity because bulbs tend to dry out substrate.

    Unhappy Re: Frog who rarely ever eats

    The weather has warmed up so the tanks is around 80-85 farenhite, the frog still isn't in the mood for eating, the most of seen it do in regards of eating is chase after a dubia roach for a while then give up. I'll buy a heat lamp as it gets colder but now it's not necessary. Not sure what to do now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I had my new frogs not eat for two weeks. It is totally fine. Now my frogs are chowing down on crickets. I had a frog way to shy to eat in front of me for 4 weeks and refused to tong feed. I got him to eat alone and now he eats every week. I had to leave the room and give him privacy and he ate all wax worms and crickets offered. Now he eats crickets and nightcrawlers with gusto! As long as your frog isn't losing weight it is fine. Nice to hear about your temperatures being perfect.
