Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I purchased two baby whites one week ago. The first evening both ate crickets. Since then the larger whites is getting fatter and fatter. The smaller refuses to eat. I am worried that in a few more days the little guy will be dead. He refuses to eat. What can I do? Pedialyte soak? Seperate them? Any ideas? Why do you think he stopped eating? Thanks for your time...

Its vet time. I know not alot of vets do reptiles, but try to find one. Make sure you seperate them (the frogs) and obtain a sure fecal sample from your froggies and have them check it. You might have one with a high parasite load, or you might have one thats sick. If you can't find a vet try to find a herpetologist or biologist in your area (look at a local college or highschool, science teachers are great for this) Ya need to check da poo!

If theres any other things you can tell us about setup that might help, we'd love to hear.....but right now you need a vet to save your froggie. Good Luck! Tell us how it goes.
