One of my frogs is not eating

[Wolst21LT]

Okay so i currently have 3 A. Callidryas(red eyed tree frogs). a pair in a 20 high and a juvenile in a 10 gal. the juvenile is not doing so well. he seems to not be eating. any ideas on how to help him eat?

Are you sure he is not eating? Is there any fecal matter at in the cage? If so, I would get it checked out. It has to be less than 24 hours old to test properly.
How is the animals body weight? What are the tempetures of his enclosure? Does this frog have decent ventalation?

i got him from a pet store.
ive had him for three days. it is completely dark at night. the temperature at night is around 75 degrees. during the day its around 81. he does seem a bit thin though. the ventilation, well i have a light strip that takes up a little less than half the screen top. so the ventilation seems okay. the humidity is a bit low though. its around 65% but i dont think that has anything to do with how well he is eating. every time i walk in to check on him, he seems to be dark in color, which i thought usually meant he is a bit stressed. ive only seen him once when he was brighter in color and that was this morning about an hour after i turned on his light. how i know that he isnt active is because hes in the same place and in the same position every morning. ive only held him twice since i brought him home, and it was once to put him in the enclosure, and the other time i picked him up to make sure he was alive! my adult pair is fine and i have the same temperature and everything. but i am going to take him to the vet to see whats up. i also have a feeding dish in the enclosure and there is still the same amount in the dish as there was when i put them in the first night i had him. and there isnt any waste that i can see, so its a mystery to me.

What's in the dish? My red-eyes ignore things like mealworms, waxworms, and so on. If you are feeding him these or similar, stop. Use crickets, moths, maybe cockroaches. They do turn dark after lights out. I wouldn't handle him too much, red-eyes are not as tolerent of handling as White's are. Also you said you have only had him for three days, I wouldn't panic at this point. Let him settle in and let us know in a week what is happening.

oh no dont worry they are small crickets. i feed all my frogs crickets. and i only handled when it was necessary but yeah he is currently isolated from everyone else, but i go in there maybe once or twice a day, just to turn the lights on and off. but i dont allow anyone else in there, because of loud noises, etc. but the reason i was concerned was because my other 2 A. Callidryas ate the 2nd night they were here. so i just got a bit worried, plus he is a juvenile and should be eating more than the adults because he is growing but i will give him another few days.

[Kurt]

Very good. Do you know his origin? Is he CB or WC?

[Wolst21LT]

im really not sure. is there a way to tell?

[Kurt]

Not really. A heavy gastrointestinal parasite load could be an indication of a wild origin, but then again a captive bred animal could pick it up in a pet store whose hygiene protocols are not up to snuff.

yeah well the good news is, hes finally starting to be active. when i turned the light out in his tank, i decided to nudge him awake. last night i woke around 5 and it sucked but anyways i went to checko on him. i turned the room light on, not his tank light so i could see if he went back to sleep. i saw him by his water dish and his eyes were wide open andim assuming he had been up since the time i nudged him awake(11:30p.m.) but the thing is, none of the crickets seemed to be missing so he either didnt find the feeding dish or he didnt want to eat so i dont know.
