    Update:

    I finally thought things were getting a little better. Willis' color had returned and s/he was hopping about happily all over the tank, but still uninterested in eating.

    Not I'm not sure...

    Last night s/he burrowed into the moss again, and taking advice from EZWeasel I did not disturb him/her. This morning I found the little guy/gal sitting next to the water dish, awake in the day (though s/he is sleeping now), and that dark orange color again. I haven't tried any medication on him/her besides pedialite and honey water, but now I am thinking a trip to the vet might be in order, especially if s/he doesn't start eating soon...

    I haven't seen any of the previous behaviors or any problems in the skin, besides the dark coloration. Just cross your fingers s/he will start eating again..):

    I think you should start feeding inside your tank. Istead of taking them out to feed. Since you have no substrate there is no reason to remove them. Problem being, stress, handeling, and boredom. Frogs like to hunt, period.

    I actually do feed these guys inside the vivarium, Bruce Campbell is the only one I feed outside because he can't see well.

    Update:

    So Bruce Willis appetite has not returned. I took him/her out tonight and gave him/her a bath in pedialite to see if that might perk him/her up. I soaked him/her for 15 minutes and afterward drained the water and put one cricket in to see if s/he showed any interest whatsoever. I got no response so I removed him/her and put him/her back in the viv. I saw no loose skin but I did notice something else that was unwanted and unexpected.

    I seems s/he has those little green spots people have trouble with every once in a while. I read a bunch of different threads of people's experiences and got a bunch of different results, some people's frogs recovered with a shed, and some people's frogs die. I'm really starting to get nervous about this...

    The spots are on his/her back legs and are in little clusters. They're so small there's no way they'd show up on my camera so I didn't bother trying to take a picture.

    I'm considering a trip to the vet now, so scared of loosing these beautiful frogs, but I really don't have the money. Having had success with my other frogs (and one that recovered after vet trips that basically emptied my wallet) I really wasn't worried about this but now it's a different story...I don't know what to do.

    I'm a little worried Paul's appetite may have fallen by the wayside as well, but I'm not sure of this as he seems healthy in every other regard. No incomplete sheds, eyes are clear, skin is healthy, he croaks every day almost...I may be over paranoid, I don't know.

    Well...I'll give you guys more updates later, when I know more. I may schedule a vet appointment if neither frog eats within these next few days, but I'm not sure if I can get the money.
