Oh by the way he has a great home with proper heating/ humidity, water pool, live plants and ecco earth. he is also not a big eater which has me concern. I have read that they eat alot thank you

How about a picture? He might just be fine and is hibernating. Also from your other post, it's all good if your frog isn't going into the water, they're not good swimmers. My frog almost never goes into his water because the tank is humid enough. These frogs are very lazy and will just eat, sleep, and poop. Have you mist the frog to see if you can get a reacting out of him? Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for your response. Yes i do mist him 1-2x or as needed, and he does react. I do have a photo(i just do not know how to get it to you, yet. my next adventure). His right eye looks fine but his left eye seems like its just shut but I noticed today that it looks larger than the other one. ( do you think I am looking too closely?) I am afraid that he has an infection, and i do not want it to spread. At this moment i can not afford a vet. I spent so much $ on giving him the proper home. I guess i did not think i needed a vet so early. Any advice would be appreciated
thank you again

You can upload your picture on image hosting sites and then link it here. Does your frog appear to have a sort of coating over him? My frog will have one eye closed at times. The first time he did it, I got worried and started poking him which I do not recommend. Sorry, I don't know much about the diseases these frogs have.
