[babrass]

Need some help guys, my dumpy tree frog will not move to eat or even move for that fact. He seems to be a male because he is smaller and is not very active. He almost seems to never open his eyes and I don't know what to do he also has not eaten in a while ! Need help please.

Hi Babrass,
Definitely more info is going to be needed to help you.

How long have you had the frog and frogs with him?

What is the humidity and temps in the tank for day and night time.

Are there any physical issues you see such as skinny/under weight, cloudy eyes, lumps or problems with shed?

Pictures of the frog and home would also be helpful.

He is only like at the most 8 months old. He has been living with another dumpy tree frog who is much bigger than him and I am assuming the other is a female. He has been shedding alot lately and has no physical damage to him. No spots or discoloration. The humidity is at 85% almost steadily all day and the heat is at 80 degrees during the day time and 70-75 at night. This recently started to happen he used to be just as active as the other frog and now all he does is sleep. Hope this helps

[DonLisk]

Your humidity should come down to 60 - 70 percent so a little ventilation would help there.
Has their temps always been around 80 during the day or has this just been since summer hit?

I was watch his weight and as long as he is looking fine and not dropping weight fast then he is probably ok.
Like I said, pics would help and someone might see something that could help.

[babrass]

Yeah trying to upload a pick I am not really sure how because the pic is on my phone And he doesn't look like he is losing weigh just not as active anymore.

I'm sorry to hear about your wtf .Sounds complicated since everything is where it should be. Is there a water bowl in the tank? Was he getting his calcium with or with out D3? Was he eating as much as the other frog? Was he getting vitamins?

[babrass]

Yeah he ate just as much or more and he got all of his vitamins and calcium which was covered on the crickets. An yeah more than half of the thirty gallon tank is filled with water it is a really nice terrarium that's why idk what I did wrong . He was so active up until three weeks ago.

Babrass, I use the mobile app tapatalk. It allows me to load pictures directly from my phone. The pictures are slightly less clear, but it's easy.

[BG]

Since he's not eating he will get weaker ,and skinny. I got the liquid vitamins,calcium from the pet store.I force feed that to my weak and skinny frogs. That worked with my pacman frog recently. I wish you the best.

[babrass]

How do you force feed them? And yes it seems like he is always tired and can never keep his eyes open.

[BG]

I am not a vet. I only speak from my own experience i had with my frogs . So far they are doing really good. For exemple one of my baby turtle's shell was getting soft and that bothered me. I feed him out side in a sepreat bowl . I drop some calcium,vitamin liquid in with the food. He will get the vitamin in his system . And the results were 100%. ith my pack man frog i injected it into the fuzzy mouse and force fed him . Results were 100%.

[babrass]

But he won't eat at all he won't even try so how would I get t into his system?

[DonLisk]

If he hasn't lost weight yet, then he has to be eating something.
I would drop temps a little in the day and watch the weight and if losing weight then take some action.

Hes even shedding as you stated, so he isn't having weight or shed issues.

[babrass]

I mean he hasn't gotten any smaller than he was month ago so I'm guessing no weight loss. And yea he is shedding correctly as well. I wish frogs were easy to figure out what's wrong. I just put the crickets in and he had his eyes open for a second and saw a cricket in front of him and shut his eyes again and didn't move.

[BG]

When was the last time he ate on his own?

[babrass]

The last time I personally saw him eat on his own was atleast two weeks ago which makes me thinknje eats when I am sleeping but I when I used to put the crickets in I would atleast see him eat one right away.

[LilyPad]

I would NOT force feed unless you are noticing a weight loss. Like Don said, if he isn't losing weight, he must be eating something. What time of the day are you feeding him? They are nocturnal so he might only be hunting at night. I have 2 frogs that I can put food right in front of, but if they lights are on they will glance at it and go back to sleep. Again, like Don said, drop your temps and keep an eye on him.

[babrass]

Ok will do!!!! And yeah because I don't see any weight loss and I always putvthe crickets in right before I turn off the lights and I usually see him eat when the lights are turned off right after n
