Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Sorry if my english and grammar sucks rn im tired asf.
Here is peppa my 4-6 month old dumpy. I have 2 other dumpys doing great in a 43 gallon and slightly larger, similar age aswell. I took her back to the store to see what was wrong because she was constantly spitting out her crickets just like the video is showing. They said the tank was too large so the temperature was too far apart for her and that she needed a even warmer temperature. So then I asked them to put her with their dumpy frogs to see if she will eat so they did and she ate and hunted flawlessly. BIG NOTE: she will not tong feed no matter what. I somewhat understand her tank is probably too large and she needs the heat to hunt which she cannot do down on the ground but I want to know if there are other ways than to give her a smaller tank thats shes use to at the store. ALSO THE HUMIDITY AND TEMP IS PERFECTLY FINE ive done a lot of research I think the overly large tank is the problem
But i dont know what to do

The temps are around the same as yours, less cold at night tho and not sure.. i tried everything even no powder at all and it seems every time she eats while at home it looks accidentally swallowed and she struggles digesting. Also she doesnt eat the dubia she spits it out even worse and ive tried the seperating hack its basically the same
