Unique problem with whites tree frog

spider916 Jan 15, 2012 02:28 PM

I know this is the ball forum but the treefrog forum is dead. I have had this particular whites since she was the size of a nickel. She has always been housed in a 30 gal terrarium. There are nice big branches and live plants. She has 2 other cage mates that have been with her from the beginning. Allare now full grown and 3 years old. They eat pinkies regularly and show no signs of any stress. 3 months ago this particular fem stopped eating and continues yo refuse food. I have tried crickets, pinkies, and worms of all kind. No sign of intrest. I have weighed her and she hasn't lost any weight. Her eye folds look healthy. She looks plump all over just like my others that are eating just fine. Her color remains a beautiful blue green. I am at a loss. Please any ideas would be great. I have raised and lowered temp and humidity, still nothing. She is the one on the right.

I'm not sure about Whites, but I know a few people have experienced problems with dominance of both sexes in Cope's treefrog. A more dominant member of the same sex causes the other(s) to stop or slow their eating and growth. Just a theory. They sure are cuties though. Best of luck in finding the problem.
