I think my frog is sick :( help

[ViperJr]

I'm sorry, I can no help you with your problem. However, just wanted to point something out.

A couple times last week he was sitting on a rock and every so often he would seem to move his stomach in and out and then just hold his mouth open for a couple seconds, he would do that over and over.

This sounds like normal shedding behavior and probably have nothing to do with the frog being ill.

Also, it might help if you specify what kind of frogs you're talking about.

Oh i forgot to say something about that. He seems like he is shedding non stop, i find it everywhere. DO you know how long they shed for?

[babrass]

They are both dumpy tree frogs.

I have gray tree frogs, during the day they really barely move at all, sometimes not at all. At night, the shy frogs that I have tend to take longer to wake up, it has to be very dark and quiet before they'll hop around. The one wasnt feeding during the day for a while, so I started putting him in a critter keeper with a couple of crickets and covered it with a blanket. Usually I would find a couple of the crickets were gone then.

Shedding often is normal, especially if you have 2 frogs in there.

Well i have been doing the exact thing since we got him and he now just stopped being active at night. It is completely dark at night and the other frog moves so much while the younger and smaller one just sits there sleeping. They are both whites or dumpy tree frogs. We also tried feeding the smaller sick frog in a separate cage with crickets and still he ate nothing . But thanks for the shedding info.

Is it possible that one is male and one is female? So the smaller one is a male with a smaller appetite?

[babrass]

That's what I was thinking the one that I think is sick is the one that won't eat and is the smaller of the two.
