Welcome aboard. Nice frog.

Occasionally she turns green, usually at night.
Here she is at the vet, trying to escape by climbing me.

Why did you take her to the vet?

I took her to get checked out by the vet. Among other things, they checked her for parasites via a stool sample. She was full grown when I got her early in 2008. The vet visit cost more than the frog!

They usually do, unless of course you brought a Colorado River toad, strawberry dart frog, or yellow-spotted tree toad.

Now I remember why I took her to the vet: she did not, and still does not, eat very much even though she looks huge. When I first got her, she would eat 2-3 medium crickets twice a week, leaping and climbing branches to hunt them down. Any more and she would not touch them. Eventually, she would eat only 3 crickets per week, but she never really got skinny. The vet said she looks healthy, so I don't worry about it.

I got the dubia roaches in January and for a while she would eat 3 or more medium to large ones per week. Pretty soon, she cooled to them as well and now she eats maybe 1 or 2 small-medium dubia and 1 cricket per week.

I feed her a zophobas no more than once every 2-3 weeks, which she has never turned down. They seem to be like candy to her.

At what temperature do you keep her? Perhaps it's a little cool and that would definitely minimise her appetite.
