    She could still be adjusting to her new tank. Cheri told me that when she traded her Red Eye to a bigger tank he didn't seem to even move or eat for a month, but she treated him as normal and he eventually came around.

    It's safe to try the wax worms once a night until you see her eat one, but if she starts eating crickets and is still uninterested, save it for a few days and try it again later. She may just not be interested in them because they're slow moving.

    I have a pair of Phyllomedusa tomopterna and the female does seem less active than the male as well, but she came around after a week or two of settling and began to climb and explore the viv on her own. Just give Orchid time, she's probably very confused and needs to settle in. Just try to keep her in a quiet and calm and environment, and maybe lay off the photo shoots for just a little while until she comes around. ^ ^

    K thanks guys! I assume she is still settling in, not sure if she'll ever eat the worms or not but I'll keep trying every night, but not leave them in the bowl, just a couple crickets.

    I am really glad I did get the very large tank for her though!
