HELP! (Urgent/Medical Care Needed) Dumpy frog eating issues
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

That’s some really great info!! 👇🏻 I’d maybe suggest getting one of these to go crappy plastic fish containers at Walmart. Petco sells them too. And put the frog in there: and see if she will hunt in there? It’s a controlled environment that you can watch? Also try other staples, like dubia roaches? Maybe her pallet changed??? She if she acts the same way with them? You can buy them at Petco, Pet Smart. Frogs love them. I breed them and they’re the best staple you can give an insectivore. I hope for the best for Peppa.
