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

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

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)
