That's something that definetly needs to be done. They need a good staple food source that's easy to digest and is easily kept by you so you don't ever run out of food for your frog. One super worm or meal worm every week or 2 might not be bad. 2 weeks probably being best.

That's great! He'll go for them, just takes some time! Try rubbing the worm accross his "lips" with forceps, he might try to bite it, this is how I started my baby pacman on worms.

lil bugger still won't eat a piece of worm... any more tips? when do i start to worry? I've had him almost 2 weeks and all he's eaten for me is a piece of superworm!

Have you tried rubbing it on his mouth with forcepts? If he doesn't go for them you may have to try crickets. No larger than the distance between your frog eyes. You can rub them on his mouth. Hold them out to where he has plenty to bite without biting the tongs. Break the hind legs off so they're easier to catch. It takes time. If he doesn't eat in the next 2 to 3 days you may have to force feed. Keep us posted.

awesome news!!!

I just bought 3 lil crickets to try (didnt' wanna end up with 50 million crickets he won't eat!)

I threw them in the tank when I got home just just now, and he ate 2 of them right away! no tongs or trying to feed him or anything... they were close and he gobbled em up!! the third is hiding on the other side of the tank... but i am so happy with him eating, i just had to share my good news!! <3
