Not bad thanks jes, yeah hes ok told him oggie went back home he seemed ok with that, he still pretty young so a quick wave of a choclate bar and all was well for him

Just trying to find someone to take bit off me and care for him. he eats 1 cricket a week if im lucky and i cant keep buying a whole box only to use 3 or 4

I am so sorry for both of you. I hope your babies are going to be ok. I don't know anything about these frogs, but I wish I did so I could help. Baby actually perked up after Tiny died, go figure, maybe he/she wanted to be alone. He/she actually is looking thinner again(Baby is smaller than my pincky nail and 1/2 the width), but is much more active and alert, but not eating much at all either..Don't these frogs understand how much we care and are trying to help!! If they knew iam sure they would feel much better. I am really pulling for you guys ( al & Jess) and hope everything works out for the best.

thanks Charlamanda .

Al if i lived anywhere near you i would come get him and keep him with my three... i must have fixed something as the past few days my little boy has been clicking! I am still keeping a close eye on mine but i have stopped the forcefeeding...if they pass then it should be on their own accord not me forcing them to live. I hope your frog starts eating more

I've been giving this some thought... I cut out beautiful landscape pics from a calender and taped them to Baby's tank leaving only a small section open, I then put him in my window so he has the effect of being outside. But the most important thing I did that seemed to make the most difference is...I added lots of fruit flies to his tank and have completely left him alone, I check on him/her all the time, but I don't let Baby see me and I don't touch or disturb him/her or the tank. This seemed to be the turning point in his/her recovery. Baby has been more active and alert and eats whenever, because the Babes is not actively hunting I have lots of fruit flies in the tank with him and add more as needed, so when he/she is sitting there he/she gobbles them up as they pass by. Maybe they need to be left alone except to eat, to reduce stress, we have a tendency, I do anyway, to fuss more over a pet thats ill and inadvertantly add more stress with the added attention. Just a thought and it really seemed to make a big difference with my itsy bitsy gray tree froglet. Hope this helps.
