So my male H. Coronatus has matured 4 days ago and still has not eaten since. Is this normal?

So I got two L3-L4 orchids two days ago. The seller fed them before posting them. They got to me in 3 days and when I received them, the heat pack gave up pretty much the day I got them. So when I received them they were freezing cold. The male was on the bottom, laying, twitching. I quickly...

Had my pacman for a few months now. Everything seemed good at first but my frog has been acting weird. He (I’m assuming it’s a he) aestivates basically everyday. He does not come out of the substrate and I have to dig him out to feed him. He hasn’t been defecating anymore (he had a regular...

My friend’s mutual is giving away a turtle and they don’t even know what species it is. My friend will rescue it and were trying to gather as much info as we can about it since the owner knows almost nothing. It’s bizarre to me how people don’t even research before getting a pet. Here’s the...

Well he took the third just now with enough annoying but he also bit my finger once and held onto it. Didn’t break skin or anything but I definitely felt the little teeth. He’s calm right now which is relieving. I also saw him pee which I assume is a good thing. Didn’t see any poo yet so I’m...

Just managed to feed him 2 dusted crickets with my Tongs. Though it was quite a battle. He ran from the touch of the cricket on his lips. I chased him around with it and he didn’t like it. I pressed it onto his lips and he took it. Though part of me believes it was a defensive bite, though he...

Contacted the shop where I got my frog from, they claim that he was fed medium sized crickets, medium sized locusts, earthworms and occasionally meal worms

How pretty! I will try out what you recommended and see how the frog feels. It’s my first time keeping an amphibian and I want everything to go well. It may as well be that the crickets are too big for him. Though he takes them! But needs several good chomps to swallow it down. Already ordered...

I also read that covering the walls with something would help relieve the stress. Is this true?

Thank you very much for this info! Ill try to house him in something smaller. I figured he actually wanted to get to his water dish for a soak. He’s back inside the eco earth now. I am now thinking maybe I should get a ceramic heat lamp instead of the heat mat. As I read they like to burry...

He’s in complete dark now and I hear him hopping into the walls of the terrarium. Is this normal?

Thing is, he does not catch the prey as it comes near. He only hops to the prey and gets it like that

He’s 6 cm long and 5 cm wide. Certainly not an adult. I don’t actually know what he was fed. I will ask. As I tried, he is not tong trained. Tried rubbing against his lips, wiggling, not working.

So yesterday I got my first pacman. With it, I got the peregrine horned frog kit, which included pretty much everything needed. A heat mat, which sadly didn’t fit on the side so I had to use it on the bottom. A microclimate ministat thermostat which turns off at about 28.1 C and turns on when...

Here’s his abdomen. I’m pretty sure he’s a dude lol

He’s not very accurate but he ate one cricket and two mealworms! I’m so glad he’s eating :)

Thanks a lot! I’ll wait and try everything I can. I counted and it seems like he’s an L8. Though he only has very small wings. Maybe I misgendered my mantis, but seems like he has 6 abdomen sections o_O

His abdomen right now:

He can move around and strike even, but not accurately. He can hang upside down. He usually ate the day after a molt. He’s very skinny and he refused both mealworms and crickets. He strikes at them as in defense. By now he has not eaten in 4 days. I don’t think he’ll make it sadly but I’ll try...

Today he’s way better. He can move around pretty well his one back leg is still weak but he uses it. I tried to offer food but he avoids it at all costs and wants to go somewhere high. His abdomen is pretty skinny too. I’m misting him in hopes he’ll drink the water. He does groom himself pretty...
