If anything he looks smaller. Of all the frogs to not hop out of the tank, its the one that wont eat. Alvin and Norm were eating like champs. This one is afraid of everything. He freaks out when the tweezers get near him half the time. If I can get the reptomin near him he just doesnt eat it. All of the reptomin from today is still in there completely untouched. Very very very frustrating. I feel like I cant win with these guys. Frogs I love and eat well die on me. Now I am plagued by this one. Ugh. No fun now.

Thanks, will go the tough love route for now but by the end of the weekend if he isnt eating maybe the store will take him back. This is very stressful.

Picture of the frog? Did you try my trick with the bamboo stick?

I mean tough love is great and all but how long as this frog not eaten? I know adults can go a long time without food but if it comes down between tough love to get the frog to eat pellets or letting the frog die of malnutrition I would rather feed the frog earthworms and worry about putting him on a pellet diet later..
