Darwin just laying with eyes closed

Thanks, I'll get pedialyte and honey first thing in the morning. How long after the baths until I should try feeding?

What method do you use typically to feed? Tong feeding, in a separate enclosure, in a "feeding" bowl?

[Madelon]

I feed earthworms using tongs and I always had to rub them on his lips. Now he jest backs away when I try that, he never opens his mouth or bites at all

You can try leaving him in his water bowl and just put the earthworm in the bowl with him. This is less stressful for him. Walk away and check on it later. The worms go crazy in the water, which typically gets a good feeding response.

[Madelon]

Good idea, how deep should the water be for this?

[Mentat]

Hello Madelon! The soaking water should be frog's chin depth. What amount (no. and size) of worms and or crickets did it consume daily while it was eating?

How long is frog snout to vent (SVL) actually? Based on thread information and last pic it does appear stunted as Colleen/Jerrod stated. Only things can think of is either a genetic anomaly, or a chronic case of parasites keeping frog small. If frog is not pooping can't do a fecal test. Can you get some Fluker's ReptiBoost? Thank you !

Madelon while you're out you may want to pick up some Fluker's Repta Boost(as Carlos has already suggested) from a pet store. This is a medicated supplement for sick and malnourished reptiles and amphibians. You may have to force feed your little guy.

We all can walk you through the process of force feeding. It can be stressful for you as well as the frog.

How do you feed? If he's been off food for so long and always a poor eater, you may want to start doing 'aggravated feedings'. Basically, you touch the frog's mouth and feet with the food until it gets mad and bites. Yes, it is somewhat stressful, but nowhere near as much as force-feeding, and this guy looks like he needs nutrients right away.

Not sure how long after the pedialyte bath you need to wait, if at all. I'd wait at least several hours just because being taken out and put in a bath will probably stress him, and they're less likely to eat after something stressful.
