It is good for them to soak and though handling does stress them if she is having trouble pooping this will help.
    I think we've got confused lol. She didn't eat the worm, but she did eat a cricket or two the other day. Tomorrow I'm going to take the heat mat off Prince and put it on her, see if that helps at all. Prince should be ok being next to one, I swear if I put that frog in the fridge he would still eat! :P

    Prince sounds really healthy. Only problem with temps being too cool and the frog still eating is that they can't properly digest and metabolize their food and that really causes problems. Health issues big time. I feel you have a lot to buy here in the near future. They all have to have their own heat pad as well. They always need a constant source of heat and I mean always. You said you have a light on Princess right? What kind?

    No I don't have any lights, they wouldn't fit on my shelf! I do have enough heat mats for them all, but I figured they would get too hot what with all being next to each other. I don't have another thermostat, so I can put a heat mat on Prince that will just be at lower heat. If everything goes to plan I should have a bit of money soon, I've been breeding mantids! :P

    I think tomorrow I'm going to look for a better tank, and put her next to me, not that I think it will make a difference, she was still funny when she had all the equipment and everything. I think she is just a strange frog, all of my others seem perfectly fine, just her. >_< That's the reason I got Prince, she wasn't being a normal pacman frog, then I got him and all my greedy frog dreams came true. :P

    Yeah, recently bred orchids, flowers and congos, so as long as i can shift them I can hopefully get a bit of frog equipment cash!

    Not one of these frogs habits and personalities are the same. You should love her for the way she is. She just needs a little extra care than the others that's all. Hopefully she'll come around and begin to eat more. She's a very nice looking albino even if she is fun sized Lol!

    LOL! Fun sized frog. :P Yeah I do, I'd be heartbroken if she died. It's just a nightmare trying to get her to eat, and she is such a worry all of the time. I realised today she isn't stupid, we have maggots for the mantids, I gave her one thinking she may mistake it for a wax worm and eat, she didn't, clever little beast! I know maggots have nothing in them, but I thought it might provoke the feeding response.
