    I have the same problem, my biggest pixie isn't eating neither, and he's always in the water with his eyes closed. and everytime i come in, he submerges under water and hides, he doesn't eat neither, but my other pixies are eating fine. Is temperatures still a problem?

    Maybe it's sick? Ectoparasites, maybe...this would be a reason for the permanent bathing.
    My one once showed a similar behavior and at second glance I noticed red mites in the substrate and on the frog. After a substrate change, careful cleaning of the terrarium and the frog (warm and mild shower) and one week of waiting, everything was fine and feeding was back to business as usual

    Thanks for the heads up, but i doubt it's ectoparasites, the other frogs are always outside the water bowl, he's the only one in the water bowl, he did get back to eating though. Just does not eat as much

    no i don't, i feed him outside of his water bowl. My frogs do not eat everyday, but they are looking healthy, there lively too, they are burrowing jumping out there burrows and of course hugging the glass of the tank haha.

    Ive found this is the only way to get mine to eat night crawlers. Even with calcium powder on the worms they are too hard for him to get with his tongue so I kinda half hang them over he edge of the bowl and he slams em down.
