    Will it let you email them to me? I can post them if you want. Drag and dropping usually works when the 'insert image' doesn't load.
    Both a photo of the frog and setup may help.

    As long as he's not loosing weight he'll be fine for quite a while. Mine went at least two full weeks without eating early on and was a very sparing eater for a while afterwards until I got everything under control.

    Have you made any changes to his care? Particularly to his temperature, and offered crickets?
    What do you measure the temp with? Maybe evaporation is keeping the bin a little cooler than it seems.

    He pooped so it's not likely to be an impaction and that he was eating recently so it's unlikely to be lack of appetite do to any parisites, which means it's probably still stress or something is off about his setup.

    I'll give it a shot on my PC. These were taken today. I have a under tank heater on the side, its low wattage, i don' have anything to tell how warm it is other than just putting my hand on the inside of the tank to get a feel for it. I mist him 3 times a day, morning, afternoon and evening. I've been keeping 2-3 crickets in the tank with him at a time. the ones in the tank are "brand new". the crickets are fed cricket food and calcium. hes got substrate to burrow in and a water dish that is changed daily. the paper towel is also changed daily. i keep my bedroom light on during the day and off at night for a day/night cycle. He poo'd last thursday but i have honestly not seen him eat since i got him which was 2 or 3 weeks ago. Name:  pacman 1.jpg

    What a gorgeous frog!! Glad to hear he ate!

    Tank looks great to me, he could do with a little more cover from the sides, ideally you should cover the back and maybe the sides of the tank with some kind of background, like paper, to keep your frog from feeling exposed, or add a plant/fake fern for the same effect.
    If the room gets natural light from a window there's probably no need to leave the lights on and you can cut down on misting by covering 2/3 of the top of the tank with plastic wrap, just to make things easier. ^^
    If his eating stays slow after a month you could try blocking off about 1/2 of the tank, mine did better with less space oddly enough.
    It would be good if you could get a digital thermometer, like the ones they sell for cooking, but for now it looks like he has enough room to cooldown/warm up as needed.

    Sounds like their getting used to their new home!
