    Default Re: Heating Tank Problem

    Hey, they had the frog labeled wrong if they had it labeled as a juvenile. I can tell you right now that guy/girl is just a baby. I would suggest dividing the tank into 2 so its a smaller area for him, all the space may be freaking him out especially if he was in something smaller at the store. I would push the water bowl over more towards the wood and stick the divider about were the bowl is now.From the pictures he seems to look ok so I don't think there is anything health wise wrong. I would really try dividing so he doesn't have to venture as far to catch his food and get to his dish, and put up a background. the background doesn't have to be anything special, you could even just use some dark construction paper or something. For your gauges those analog ones aren't the best, I would get something that is digital because they are way more accurate. And I would move them down so they are about an inch off the ground, this way you know what temps he is feeling. Also being a baby you may want to try to get him used to tongs, this way you know what he is eating and the feeders cant rub off the vitamins. And they aren't the most graceful eaters and tend to miss a lot, if he gets a lot of cocofibre he is going to get full from it and then not want eat his real food. And even though coco fibre is made so the frog can pass it if eaten, if he gets a lot it can make him impacted then he really wont want to eat. And sometimes when they keep missing it just discourages them and they will just give up. Try the things suggested, sometimes it takes awhile for them to settle. Hope he starts to eat for you soon.

    Well I am very sad to say that this little guy died last night I went to check on him this morning and he was gone. He was doing okay on Friday. I put him in a smaller tank and tried to feed him a Worm with some tongs and he refused, then I tried 2 small crickets and he refused those too. Poor little guy I’m very sad to see him go.
