    grif i fear today may be the day mayweather goes. He has not come up from a burrow in 48 hrs so today i pulled himout to feed. Eyes are still closed no sign of intrest in food. He has also started to make a clicking noise very loud. Thank you grif for all you did. Were on day 7 of his food strike. Tomorrow is force feeding. I dont know how hes gonna eat with his eyes closed. He will only open his eyes in water. Thank you very much grif if mayweather can pull through i ow it all to you. Even if he doesnt, I am still very gratful that you were here and took a week ot of your life to help me. Thank you, John.

    Don't give up yet. the clicking is a don't bother me noise. you may have go soak him in a warm bath for a while. Almost sounds like he is trying to aestivate which you don't want. What are his enclosures conditions and I mean post pics of where everything is located and tell me how moist his substrate is and humidity level.

    position of the temp and humidity gauges as well.

    I was thinking the same thing. Maybe its too cold or too dry and its trying to aestivate like grif is saying. My first week with my C. Cranwelli was relatively trouble free except my mistakes. I had the coir too dry and was under the impression the C. Cranwelli was active during the day not night which was where my feeding trouble came from. I was feeding at the wrong time. I added water and feed him when he is out not when I want. Hope your frog eats soon. Mine went like 5 days or so but he was aestivating due to too dry substrate. Fixed it and plopped him in water. He ate his casing and now is more regular. He pounded another B. Dubia roach tonight like a champ! His color is also changing. He is real yellow tonight not his limes green.

    I need to see what it looks like. take the temp to 82° during the day and stay at 78° at night. Something isn't right. I'm still unsure what is wrong.

    Did you go buy the Repta-Aid(Repta-Boost) and UNFLAVORED PEDIALYTE?

    You should never have a dry area at all. Warm side and Cool side. Substrate should always be moist. Give him a Pedialyte soak and go ahead and give him a dose of the Repta-Aid(Repta-Boost).
