    A vet would be the best option if he just won't eat over time. Not eating is one of the only symptoms of illness in these frogs. Also it's a good idea if you suspect MBD.

    You may want to consider a quarantine tank for a bit. A ten gallon tank with moist unbleached paper towel substrate,a few branches and a large water bowl. Drape a dark cloth over part of the enclosure. Offer crickets in a deli cup or black soldier fly larvae. This way you can easily monitor what was eaten. Dubia roaches often don’t move enough to provoke a feeding response. Feed at night with the lights off and check the next day to see if any were eaten. Try this for a few nights and monitor your frog. It has decent body mass so I wouldn’t panic. Good luck

    That's fantastic! I'm glad you found a good eating method for Whitley.
