    Frogs can indeed get respiratory infections, i.e., "colds". Put the frog to your ear in a quiet room and listen. What you don't want to hear is crackling in its breath, that would indicate an RI, which would require treatment from a vet.
    Me, personally, I would take them both to the vet to have them checked out. Get fecals done and get them dewormed and medicated. I am not saying they have GI parasites or that would be the cause of the problem, although it could be. It's just part of what I do, especially, on a first visit to the vet for the frog.

    Okay, so I gave Olive a bath in some warm water and a little bit of honey last night and he seemed to absolutely LOVE it. lol. I also put his crickets in a glass bowl like suggested and took Earnest out of the cage, and Olive ended up eating two of the four crickets in the bowl, which is better than none. He also seems a little greener and more upbeat today. I'm going to continue soaking him in warm water and putting his crickets in a glass bowl and see how he does. After seeing how positively he responded to just that little bit of change, I'm thinking he's probably just stressed.

    He doesn't make any crackling noises when he breaths. I was concerned about a Resperatory Infection when he first started acting out of sorts, but both he and Earnest have perfectly clear breathing. Also, how much does it cost to take a frog to the vet and have all of that done?

    Thank you for all of your help and guidence. =)

    Yeah it can get pretty expensive to take your frogs to the vet and get fecals done. I don't know how scientific you are but there is a wonderful article on the left that shows how to do a fecal exams at home.

    Im glad theres improvement. When he said cold I was taking it as to mean something contagous like, well , a cold. Animals get diseases with side effects like crusty eyes and respitory infection like pneumonia, is not with hummidity levels soo low.

    I just wanted to thank everyone who replied to this thread for all your advice and help! Olive is doing SO much better. He's eating and he's getting up at night as soon as his daylight bulb goes off. He's also greener and croaking up a storm. (Trust me...it was almost hard to sleep with how load he was last night. lol) I'll make sure to take all of your advice into consideration and put your tips for keeping my frogs healthy into practice! You're all the best! Thanks for helping out this new frog owner. =)
