 TREE FROG WON’T EAT?!?!?

My family owns a Tree Frog. We’ve had him for a few years. He lives in a medium sized cage with a temperature of 70-75 degrees. We haven’t fed him in 4 days. We got him crickets this morning, but when we put them in the cage he just sat ther, then crawled onto the wall and continues to just sit there, not eating any crickets. One cricket actually touched his leg and he didn’t eat it. Is he sick? What is wrong?

If he sees then moving around a lot and wont even turn towards them then there might be something wrong because even if he had eaten the day before, tree frogs usually will eat somewhat uncontrollaby. Check if his belly or legs have redish or pinkishness on them, if thats the case you might wanna consider looking up symptoms for "Red Leg" disease. Is the bark small enough for him to swallow? Maybe he swallowed something and needs to go to the vet.

Just look up symptoms for some frog diseases.

try feeding at night b/c that is when they are more active

also the temps sound a little too cool but i cant be sure unless i know what kind of tree frog it is

do you know? or could you post some pictures so we can try to identify it for you?
