    The picture show a pretty good looking frog. Are you finding any poop in his/her home?

    Try bringing humidity up a little and let temps drop at night to about 70 degrees.
    I would also try the cricket bowl feeding method so s/he can hunt them. Heres a link to info on using the cricket bowl,

    Let us know how things are doing too.
    Also pics of the viv would help others attempt to help.

    Ya, looks nice and chubby yet. Sometimes when my whites eat a big meal, or continually eat, they take a break for a few days. He could have trouble pooping, maybe a warm bath. You probably had done that(kind of) with the honey/pedialite, recomended temps of 75-80. Hopefully he made a poo.

    Good luck!

    Thank you very much for all replies! I will try a candy bowl, but I really doubt it will help. He had crickets crawling all over him and he did not care. I offered him crickets, wax worms, butterworms, moth, he just squirms and refuses to take any. He also moves his little arms, like "I do not want it! Take it away!" I can clearly see he is hungry as he sometimes has this "alert frog"look, but something seems to preventing him from actually getting it.
    Here are the pictures of his enclosure, he lives in a bin, but it has a screen lid, so the ventilation should be good, I also change water once a day and clean it all once a week. In the picture he is taking his pedialite bath.
    This is very stressful and I am very upset I could not figure out what is wrong. I will get the humidity up as has been suggested. Thank you!

    The last time he pooped was a few days after he stopped eating, since then no poop, but the vet said she does not think he has anything in there, he is empty all the way.....

    He's probably really stressed in that bin. Height is an issue, privacy another. Mine like heavy plant cover, places to hide, and like to climb up to the top corner to sleep. I would look into getting a 20 gallon and doing a conversion(door kit) to make him more comfortable. I did a home conversion for 12$, photos are in my alblum.
