    Has the frog lost weight? Any pictures? Has it been eating/has it been defacating? Temp/humidity? Pics of the frog/enclosure would help a lot.

    To assist you it would be best to post pics of both the frog and its enclosure.

    Also information such as the tanks humidity and temperature, type of water used, and any changes that have occurred to the tank or the frogs eating and movement habits would be helpful.

    okay i got all of what youve asked for. its temp is between 75-85 usually and i try to keep the humitidy up between 50-60. sometimes it gets down to 30 . i had to get a new blub mine broke its like a 50 wt white light. i notice it doesnt get as hot as it was before. i use tap water like always i feed crickets but i hardly ever saw him eat even before, hes not one to hunt its weird. so i was feeding him in tuberware to make it easier for him.

    The temps/humidity/ enclosure look great, but the frog is severely underweight. How many crickets do you feed? Getting the frog checked out by a vet ASAP is needed. I suspect parasite(s).

    i honestly put 6 - 10 crickets or so in there then a few days later i put more if it looks bare, i know i feed them alot the dumpy is nice and chubby she hunts and eats just fine. but hes never been one to hunt really and hes slower.. ive had him sitting out with me for an hour now and his color is back but youre right he is so skinny im scared.. its like he doesnt eat at all anymore and hes very dry even though i mist and he goes in the water bowl..and his skin peels ALOT. and its hard for him to get it all off..what does that mean? could it be the light isnt right?

    Amphibians generally do not require any special lighting. Like I said, I would get it looked at by a vet tonight, if not tomorrow. I can't explain the skin condition, sorry When was he last fed? He may require force feeding, though this is stressful to both you and the frog, so it is a last resort.

    one more thing. is he a dumpy frog? or what.. hes always looked different than her. even though i told the petstore that i want 2 dumpys they gave me him and her, he looks like a regular tree frog
