Sometimes they won't eat if its to cold or not the correct humidity. Break the hind legs off the crickets so they are easier for your frog to catch. Get rid of the moss and use only Eco Earth coco fiber or Top soil. Buy a lamp that has a dimmer switch and buy a 50 watt basking spot light that has a tight beam. Even as a 50 watt this light bulb with a concentrated beam will raise the temps in your tank where they are needed. They are not too bright either just make sure you have some sort of fake plant for the frog to hide from the light as the beam will burn an albino if its turned up too hight. Place the plant under where the beam comes down onto the substrate. Exo Terra and Zoo Med make these bulbs and they work great. Make sure you dust the frogs food with calcium dust with D3 and use a multivitamin dust. Calcium every other feeding multivitamin once a week. Try a variety of foods as babies and juviniles need to be fed daily. Keep us posted.
