Clown frog help?

[CaptainMorgantown]

Hello,

I've been helping out a friend of mine that is starting to keep frogs, and I helped her get her tank set up, and it looks great. He told me that he was going to get a clown frog to keep in there, but what he didn't tell me was that he was getting five. When they came in, they were very very small, and I was worried about him being able to take care of frogs so young. He got them in two weeks ago, and since then they have not ate a single thing. We have tried pinhead crickets and even fruit flies just in case, but they don't even look at the food. I wasn't really too worried because I thought they might still be a bit stressed out from the trip, but one of them died today, and he was looking incredibly sickly and skinny. I personally have no idea what to do because I have never kept these kinds of frogs, nor have I kept any this young before. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be a big help.

The tank size is 10 gallons, and the frogs are about a half an inch long. Let me know if you need more information.

I have clowns (only 2) and they are a pretty little frogs. The first time I was shipped the frogs one died on arrival, and it was a fairly young, small frog. They sent me a replacement (and I happened to order one more as well) and they shipped me adult frogs. Personally I don't think clowns should be shipped young because they are such a temperamental frog. They stress out way too easily and die because of it. My adult frogs eat fruit flies, the Hydae, and young crickets (mostly fruit flies). The other thing is a ten gallon is really not that great for clowns...even vertically it doesn't seem like it will be tall enough...while my frogs use the while tank, they mostly stay in the top of the tank. An then to put 5 of them in there, to me, is way too crowded. So that could be stressing them and causing them not to eat.
