Is this a good idea? It will give him a chance to get used to me as well, since my hand will always be in there.

The shadow thing makes sense, because in his little cage everytime i put the lid on he would freak out. Thanks for that, i didnt know why he was freaking out XD.



Thanks for the advice! I will try the worms if this doesnt work, but how would you force feed a frog? How long can he go without eating? Hes still as small as in that picture, hes a little baby.
This may be your problem. You should place the food in and leave him be to do it on his own. He is stressed and not used to you or his new home yet and trying to run the food to him is scaring your frog. He doesn't understand that you are trying to help. Break the hind legs off the crickets ato make them easier to catch and drop them in and let him fend for himself. Babies need as much food as possible for proper growth so he should be fed every night. Babies can't go as long as adults can by no means.

Try what I said. Break the hind legs off and just drop them in and leave him be. Let him try on his own. Also make sure they are of proper size. No longer than the distance between your frogs eyes. Dust them before placing them in too.

Keep us posted.
