oooh................... the south african bullfrog, my wishlist also! I wonder if the hubby would be willing to share the bed!! definately need a bigger house!

O.K. I fed this morning and chunk ate everything I gave him and chester ate nothing! Is that normal? It sounds kind of scary to me! Any advice?

Is this the first time its happened? Do they eat in the same enclosure? Could Chester be stressed? Is Chunk bigger and maybe more dominant?

Just full of questions arent I?..oops theres another.

Yes this is the first time it has happened and they are not in the same enclosure as they would eat each other. They usually eat everything I give them very visciously. The crickets climbed all over him and he could care less. I dangled an earthworm in front of his face he just blinked and turned around and showed me his rump.

I have read that they sometimes go through a hibernation period where they wont eat or drink, could he be doing this?

That could be a possibility. Although it's unlike a horned frog to refuse food, I still think it's possible he simply wasn't hungry. I'd wait and see if he eats later before getting too concerned. Unfortunately, even if he were sick there's little that can be done for amphibians, especially when you don't know what's wrong. Vets that see them and medicines that are safe are both in low supply for amphibs. You could try boosting the temperature a little and adding electrolytes to the water to try and boost his metabolism if you feel it necessary.

Thank you Matt I am really concerned that he still wont eat and chunk is the garbage disposal I have read about. I will bump the temp a small amount and see what happens.

I knew Matt would have some answer . Please keep us posted Nicole.

Update: still not eating though he does not appear to be losing weight or anything like that. I guess I keep trying! Has anyone ever heard of force feeding one of these guys? I have done snakes and Iguanas and a few other lizards but never a frog. I was just curious if this sounds like a possibility?
