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

    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%.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
