~~My little frog wont eat, please help~~

lil_frogger2 Jun 24, 2003 08:54 PM

Hey, I have two frogs, I think they're wood frogs, but they don't have the ridges, so I'm not sure. But anyways, they're both froglets. The one that hasn't been eating morphed about 3 weeks ago, and the other morphed about a week and a half ago. But the frog that morphed 3 weeks ago (Toaster) is very skinny compared to the other one. They are both the size of about my fingernail, and I'm 14 years old. I know there is nothing wrong with the temperature or habitat because they both live in the same place and I've seen the other one eat. I put Toaster in a seperate conatiner with some fruit flies and water an stuff, I'm not sure if he'll eat them, he hasn't yet..I don't think. I can't hand feed him because he is way too tiny, and it's hard for me to moniter his food intake since he eats those tiny fruit flies who hide a lot. I've examined him and I haven't found any bumps or patches or anything out of the ordinary. He is juts too darn skinny. him for about 3 weeks, and he was already morphed when I got

I don't know how long frogs can go without food, but I've had him, so he has had to eaten sometime. Please help me, it's horrible watching my little buddy so skinny.

Oh yeah, he doesn't seem weak either, he hops around, climbs on the glass, and nothing slows him down. I cant get pictures because he is so tiny and the camera wont focus.

im not sure, but i would say he is still full from "ingesting" his tail. just keep putting for in for him he should start eating when hes ready, but thats my educated guess.

I don't think he's still ingesting his tail cause he wouldn't be so skinny, and it's been about 3 weeks
