    I think my White's get lonely sometimes. Both Bruce Campbell and Bruce Wayne are alone in their vivs and are always rubbing their noses around on the bottom of their tanks as they're trying to escape, and I know their tanks aren't too small, they're well fed and otherwise really healthy. The other frogs I have are kept in pairs and they don't do that. I have never once seen them rub their faces around the glass or look for ways out.

    I think they're capable of loneliness, they're awful smart after all.

    Should we change loneliness to competition for food?

    My first Agalychnis callidryas wouldn't come out and eat or show its face for almost a month. I knew it was eating since there were droppings to be found. The day after the addition of anotherAgalychnis callidryas, the 1st one came right out and sat along the water dish edge and waited to watch the 2nd. Soon after both would come out together and sit side by side at the water, looking at the cricket bowl.

    They now usually sleep nose to butt on the same leaf or on each side of the same leaf.
    Its rare for me to see one out without the other.

    Sorry for the delay, just an update color has returned and appetite is back to its usual, albeit slow pace. I had soaked her in the pedialyte mixture during this time period but it didn't show immediate effects. Right now it is living in the 2.5 gal travel terrarium in a quarantine set up. That being the case the frog is definitely back to being active again, ate a silkworm for the first as soon as it hit the enclosure floor! Though a bowl of crickets is still taking multiple days to consume. It may have been environmental I guess but I am considering the vet checkup soon.

    I'm glad your frog is doing OK again Rocko!

    I'm having problems with one of my White's too now...so we're in the same boat. S/he's lost weight and won't eat, is having trouble shedding and climbing. So sad, but I'm trying to nurse her back to health.
