Worried about Peggy

[Teh Frog Whisperer]

In the winter they tend to slow down on feeding. She is probably sensing the weather changes. Any other odd behavior?

Nothing really beyond what I already mentioned. What are your thoughts on this, Grif?

Sometimes if the humidity is low they close their eyes. They also will close their eyes when their is an underlying problem. You may want to have a fecal exam done and have her looked at just incase.

I soaked Peggy and moistened her substrate and she seemed to perk right up. I'll try feeding her again in a day or two.

It is very important to keep their environment moist and the humidity up.

She looks healthier, but she's still all fat and lazy. Anyway, she's still refusing food. Any thoughts?

Have you noticed any redness on her toes or belly?

Sometimes they will refuse food during the cold months. Some of mine will burrow down and not come up anywhere from a week to a month. As long as they don't lose weight they are fine. Just keep an eye on her.

I checked yesterday, and there's no redness on her toes/belly. She hasn't lost weight, so should I just offer her food every few days or so until she finally decides to eat?
