12. When is the last time he/she ate - 1.5 Weeks ago
13. Have you found poop lately - Yes, the day before yesterday when i gave him "hot"(31C) bath with honey.
14. A pic would be helpful including frog and enclosure (any including cell phone pic is fine) Will post later, sorry don't have one in hand
15. Describe frog's symptoms and/or recent physical changes; to include it's ventral/belly area. - i noticed a small lump on the right side, which got away when he pooped.

21. Is the enclosure kept in a high or low traffic area - Medium i would say, in my room, i try to not mess with him too much.
22. Describe enclosure maintenance (water changes, cleaning, etc) -> water bowl every day, spot cleaning(none so far, just on the honey bath once), and eco earth still the first one, changing it next week.
So guys, i'm new to the forum and i actually need your help, my frog has not been eating lately and i'm worrying now.
I've bought him 2 weeks ago, i gave him one cricket 3 days after he arrived and he has eaten it. He did not eat the two first day(i thought it was normal since i believed he has eaten in the store).
he is a baby i believe he has just lost his tail, i've had him for two weeks almost now and when he arrived he had still some tail left i believe. So between the first cricket and now he has not eaten at all, and i'm worrying... I'm planing on getting some European Nightcrawlers to see if he eats it.
I've seen that he didn't pooped so far, so two days ago i've putted him in a honey bath, and he did a big one, (almost two weeks without) but still not eating.
I've tapped a tropical poster in the background of the terrarium and he surely seems more relaxed since that. Maybe the glass was messing with him.
Now he burries a lot more, and he uses his hiding spots ( a half brick on one side, and a plant on the other, being the bowl on the middle, the ceramic light is to the right side where the plant is)
I'm offering him food twice a day in tweezers, sometimes close to his mouth, sometimes touching it, sometimes i leave the cricket walking(without the hopping legs) in the terrarium for a bit and then take it out, and he doesn't want to eat, nothing works...
He doesn't seem to have lost weight so far. But i'm worrying cause it's been a little while.
He's a Cranwelli albino and he's my first frog(and first amphibian/reptile), can someone help me find out what am I doing wrong??
I've read something about plastic containers and etc being better, should i put him in only water without substrate or something? Should i keep making him take the honey bath for some more days, since i've to touch him to put him in the bath i don't want to stress him out to much?? I did it yesterday and the day before, today i stopped since he has pooped, and it seems that the right side lump is gone... What should i do? The terrarium now is only visible in the front sliding doors, the background and top are a background plastic photo of plants and rocks(he seemed more happy when i put that in place to be frank, and he moved a lot more).
I don't want Pixie(his/her name is Pixie) to die, please help me understand what is happening.![]()
