    Also while soaking your frog you will want to shoot for the 20 minute range, no less than 10 minutes in the soak otherwise its benifits will be wasted. New fresh soak everytime. If doesn't eat within the next day you will need to force feed him.
    Try red wigglers and pieces of earthworm. They afe nutritious and easily digested.

    You'll need a credit card or preferably a small shopper card. It is best done with 2 people. One to make sure your frog doesn't escape or back away and the other to force feed. You can do it out of the enclosure just make sure you set him down on moist paper towels.

    You will gently pry open his mouth with the shopper card by placing the corner of it between the upper and lower jaws on the side of his mouth. Gently apply pressure until his mouth opens. Have the food item you intend to feed him in the other hand and near his mouth. Once his mouth is open enough quickly and carefully place the food item in his mouth. It doesn't have to go all the way in just enough to where he closes his mouth on the food item. He should do the rest.

    Force feeding is stressful for your frog and you. Be calm and pacient. It may take a couple tries.

    Keep us posted.
