turtletyper Jan 04, 2005 11:30 AM

I keep my wood frog in a 10 galon tank and the temp. is about 60 f. when I first caught her she ate but now it wont.
I have tried feeding her small earthworms,mealworms,crickets,grubs,beatles and slugs.
If anyone has some advice it would be appriciated
Thanks turtletyper

I am no expert on frogs, or wood frogs in particular but to me 60F sounds a bit low for even amphibians. Found a basic caresheet listing daytime temps for wood frogs as 70F. Raise the daytime temp to 70F and he should start eating again. For more info, see URL below.
