"No" Frog

[elly]

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.

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?

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.

Julep got his first dose of ReptaBoost. I gave him a half dose just in case he could qualify as "severe." Still no interest in bugs, still trying to get out of quarantine.

At least Bonk took a bug. He hid in his hide all night, but he did peek out long enough to snatch a roach.

Is Julep still trying to get out of quarantine? I'm not sure about your setup, but if you haven't already, maybe try to tape paper around three sides of the tank. I assume it would help him feel more secure and lessen the urge of trying to get out.
