Frog not eating much

[Deejay Mayweather]

I would remove the heat bulb for a start and stick with the heat mat. Albinos have very sensitive skin. Has john says im also worried for your frog he/she is also not eating enough which automatically means to me somethings wrong. I have 2cm horned frogs that get 6 2nd star crixs and two chopped earthworms a day.

hope he/she improves.

Ok should I put it on the bottom of one side, with the water dish?

I have my heat mat on one side and the water dish on the opposite side.
You may want to try him with different livefoods i would deffinately go with earthworms and roaches has horned frogs and similar species find these hard to resist. I have a horned frog now as we speak that would rather starve than eat crixs. he wont touch them.

hope this helps

Ok I put the heat mat on the side of the tank and piled his substrate a bit more on it. His water dish is on the opposite end. Are bait worms from Walmart ok? I plan on getting some here in a bit.

Like the first person who commented said, it may be that yours has gone so long without eating that it's made itself sick. A friend suggested this to me, and it worked on mine when he wouldn't eat as a baby. For the first few months I had him, I would give him a warm water bath every two days for about ten minutes (he had some pretty severe impaction issues), put him back in his cage, and immediately give him a cricket or two, and he'd eat them right off. I don't have to do that anymore, but if you can establish some sort of routine like that, or even try feeding him in a separate tank like some people do it might get him started eating again.

Thanks for the advice! I know he isn't impacted as he has been going to the bathroom, but I will try some warm water and then feeding him. He seems to be a bit happier now that the light is off.

Like i said earlier it most prob is the light causing a problem, Albinos can not have any direct sources of light whether that being a bulb or the actual sun.

Im glad to ear hes seems happier.
