Yeah the IF likely should be removed... but I did see an awesome white lipped tree frog on kingsnake today that really caught my eye and can't beat the price. Nope no prob using my real name either one works for me.

Yeah there are so many frogs out there it's hard to resign yourself to just one species. After I got Mr. Campbell I stumbled upon tiger legged monkey frogs and I about sh@ a brick. XD; It's like Phyllomedusa Tomopterna were made just for me. My two favorite animals: Sumatran Tigers and Frogs (of all kinds XD). It's like a hybrid of pure awesomeness.

And alright about the name, same goes for me. Whether Kisa or Brit comes to mind when you think of me it's no never mind. XD

There are way too many groovy frogs out there. How dare they be so pretty and prolific Mother nature at it's finest Guess that's why the Gods made all those nasty bugs... to feed their froggies

Hahaha I agree completely. XD There's a reason frogs are a symbol of wisdom.

So I've run into a small hiccup, unfortunately.

It's nothing to panic about but I guess I just want to post it here to make sure I've covered all my bases.

So the night before last I ran out of tiny crickets and didn't have the means to get more. I decided it would probably be alright if I found some of the smaller "large" crickets in my stash for Bruce Campbell and feed them to Bruce Wayne, as long as they weren't too big I was sure he'd be alright. I would have rather fed him bigger crickets than let him go hungry for a night. So, I gave him the larger crickets (they were smaller than him, and only a little bigger than his mouth. I know White's can eat things up to twice their size so I thought it would be ok for just one night. ><) and he ate them right up. I only gave him two though, I didn't want to explode his little belly. I was happy that he ate them and foresaw no problems.

The night night (last night) I went to do lights out at 8 o'clock like always and gave Bruce Wayne some time to wake up cuz I know he's not used to the schedule yet. Well it came to about eleven o'clocl and I had to wake him then, I was about to go to sleep and I didn't want to put crickets in there while he was sleeping. (I have this weird fear that they'll all gang up and try to kill him, I know that might be strange but my friend lost an animal to crickets once because she pout too many in his tank at once and I want to avoid the same fate.) So I woke him up, gently and put crickets in there. He didn't go straight for them so I gave him some time but in the morning it seemed like he had only eaten one (MAYBE). Then I woke him again to check on him (I know I should leave him alone but I get so scared...><) and he still wouldn't go after the crickets. He did poop though and it was yellow in color and very watery.

I assume all this is because I fed him the larger crickets, but I don't know in what way this could have harmed him. >< When I picked him up at the store the person told me (I know they're not always reliable) that he could prolly take down a medium sized cricket with no problems, and he did.

Could the larger crickets have hurt him somehow? He ate them quickly, though it took him a bit longer to swallow them. I'm going to leave him be with the crickets in his viv for now and wait until he's ready to eat them. I'm just so nervous. I guess I don't understand how just feeding him larger crickets could hurt him unless they're harder to digest, which I get, but how could that have cause his watery, yellow poop? This is so scary. >< Any suggestions you guys have would really help, thanks.

Mine went through a few adjustment days, sleeping at night, still eating poorly, poop a little odd. But I can say this, the odd sleeping has passed, and i think it was just part of adjusting to things. It is very active and climbing now, so I suggest waiting it out a few days, offering food, but not panicking so much. Worst case, try a very dillute pedialyte solution that can stimulate appetite.

Thanks Rocko, hopefully it is just an adjustment thing. It's just weird because he ate like a starving orphan the first two days, he even went crazy for those larger crickets and now all of a sudden he just ins't interested. When I pulled him out he was active, walking from hand to hand and even taking little jumps. When I changed his paper towels he climbed the glass because I think he was looking for his coco hut. His eyes are bright too. There was another odd thing, when I first brought him home he stayed a blue or greenish color while he was sleeping and since I fed him the larger crickets he's turned a really dark brown, almost black while he sleeps. This is probably just due to stress...hopefully if I just leave him alone he'll be ok.
