"No" Frog

[elly]

He's lively and moving around, but he hasn't eaten anything although I left a bowl of crickets in his tank. I'm worried.

[BossFrog]

When did he eat last? Is he doing any better?

Julep ate last when I force-fed him a dubia on Sunday. I've only done that once, but I might try it again. He's still lively, still wants out of quarantine. To make things worse, the other frog, Bonk isn't going after bugs either. I left another bowl of crickets in the tank and he just now seems to be even aware of them. Luckily Bonk is pretty fat.

Would anyone recommend unflavored pedialyte as a bath for Julep? I might try a honey bath to stimulate his hunger, but he seems to have plenty of energy.

I considered just putting Julep back in the tank to make him feel more comfortable, but he's just been treated for worms. I don't want to re-infect him.

They've both been calling more than usual, I wonder if that means anything.

[BossFrog]

Aw poor little guy.. Did you get Bonk tested for nematodes? Did you get them tested for anything else? Could be something else.

Supposedly the vet did a general analysis of Julep's poop, just stuck it under the microscope. I haven't been able to bring any of Bonk's in yet.

After I force-fed Julep, he pooped in a couple of days and it was oddly greenish. That's a little worrying.

Poor Julep and Bonk. Sorry I can't be of more help, not sure if a soak would help, but it may not hurt to try unless you think it'll stress him too much.

Have you considered some Repta+Boost or something similar?

[elly]

I will in a couple days if he isn't better. He isn't low energy, however, just not eating.

I wonder if putting him back in his other tank would make him feel more comfortable, but he wasn't eating there either and I don't want to reinfect him.
