my wife just pointed out one of my red eye tree frogs looked think. I went to go look and he indeed looks thin. so i'm moving him to a 190oz temp tank for a few days.

My question is. what's the best way to fatten this guy back up? been feeding him crickets. let me know if you have any sugestion

Maybe wax worms? You might have to wiggle it for him, though.

Can you post a pic of your little guy?

 

[goatdude]

it's not the best pic but don't want to flash him again. also he's a lot thinner then the pic shows

I would suggest having fecals done for worms and protozoans, and treat accordingly.

personaly i think it might be stress. he hides a lot even at night(been 2 months since we got the other frog. the other frog is fat and happy). but will look into doing this. i'm here to help the frog. not claim i know what's going on just yet. so any advice is welcome

mostly looking for advice into fattening him up with the lest a mount of stress

What is the other Frog? Have you considered if you think it is stress , to separate them? Also the other frog could very well transmit something to him.He will regain weight on crickets once you find out what is ailing him.

i got another red eye tree frog that went in about 2 months ago.(everything tested ok with him) the new frog is fat and happy. the old frog hides a lot since we put the other frog in. no signs of fighting or anything.

also as stated he will be moved to a 190oz tub until he gets better

There is also psychological stress. You really should separate them . Is your 190oz a large tub or a tank. I prefer tanks.

that's the tub. it's not the tallest around but will work until i find out what's up. after i find that out a 10gal tank will be setup for his temp housing.(few weeks)

Just my opinion but I do not see him doing well in their at all.
