Possible eating issue

[Grrrit]

I may be over thinking this but just this post sunday got another milky and he hasn't shown any intrest in feeding. The other two ate extremely well as soon as I offered them crickets. the new frog is very alert and healthy looking from what I can tell. I wouldn't be suprised if he's just stressed about the change of environment. But if anyone haas any tips to entice him to pig out I'm all ears. I right I'd ask before I called Mike.
Thanks

Do you feed them from you're hand (tweezers) ?

Best is to drop in some food and leave them.
If he is looking healthy and all, he will get them when he gets hungry.

I almost never see my treefrogs eat, but as long as they stay healthy,
i know they eat something.

So, just don't worry untill you see the frog getting to skinny or whatever.

I use a food bowl type method. Its a 6"x4" cricket keeper that I load with about 12 to 15 crickets for the three of them. I just place it in the viv for two hours before lights out and by time its lights out, the crickets are gone. I placed the newer guy on a perch above it after my other two already went in to eat so he could "get the idea". And all he would do is watch from above. Last night I did try tweezers, and he was uninterested. (pushing it away) so I guess I'll have to wait and See. Is there another easy to aqquire insect he would go for? He's almost 2" snout to vent.

Frogs take time to get adjusted to their new surroundings. Just give him time to settle in and then he will begin to move around and eat with the others. Next time remember its best to quarantine all new frogs in a separate enclosure for 30 days before you introduce them into the permanent home. This cuts down on the risk of exposing your frogs to diseases or parasites from a newly acquired frog.

yea I now know. But I was told they would be fine together, as long as they didn't out grow each other. They're from the same breeder and I got them all relatively together.

wax worms frm your local bait shop are good snacks. My 1" whites loves them. Even feed from tweezers, as when they are gripped by the head the tail swings wildly, making them visually tantalizing. They are slow moving, but if loose in viv, will die and really stink, seems like only 1/4 of them turn into a small moth.
