Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I gave her these questions and this is what she said:
"The tank is very humid don't know like exact percents, I try to feed him crickets but he doesn't always eat them... but i did get him to eat a pinky last night (i know not the greatest food)... I don't know what to dust with... and I use bottled water and but will be switching to tap water that will be dechlorinated. I cant find any feeder fish that are small enough for him to eat... but will keep looking. I moved him into the tub and now the temps are like 65 so i want to shoot for at least 70."
I also told her to try using a ziplock or other small containers.
Thanks everyone, more suggestions on anything would be awesome

I've personally been under the impression from many people that pinkies are not good for leos due to the high fat. The high fats can cause fatty liver disease in the long run, and geckos are naturally insectavors. Though, it is okay as an occasional treat for an adult leopard gecko and breeder females. Other than that gecko, I really don't know much, so you could be correct since you only said geckos. What geckos are you talking about?
Same story for pac man toads, I believe. They are a good treat for once or twice a month, though.
------------------------------------
UPDATE: She moved him in to a bigger tank, and he ate a bunch. Weird, but oh well, it works! Thanks everyone.

Pinkies should be fed sparingly to larger amphibs that will accept them. They are very high in fat and the amphibs would become obese very quickly if fed on a strictly pinkie diet. Try some variety, its' the best diet you can give your frog. At that size I would say Crickets, Silkworms, Eartworms, Waxworms, etc....
I think a Pinkie/month is a fairly nice treat for them.
