green tree frog won't eat help!

joshnlisa Oct 25, 2004 08:50 PM

About a month ago I posted a message about my green tree frog and trying to make sure he gets the food that he needs. I pulled him out of the tank twice and feed him seperatly, the first time he ate the second time he didn't and I haven't seen him eat anything since and he's grown very very skinny. I'm not sure what else to do except trying to feed him. I didn't want to take him out of the tank because I don't want to stress him out anymore and I think it made it worse.
If this continues it looks like he will pass away if he dosn't eat. He dosn't seem to be ill. Everything else seems to be fine. The only thing I've noticed that's different lately is that he has been lying directly under the light only a few inches away. It would burn my skin to be that close to the light. He never wants to move.
Any help would be appreciated.

Rip off the butts of meal worms, and spread the guts on his lips. It should stimulate his apatite. If not, your exotic vet can perscribe a drug to do that. Good luck.
