Cornuta lacks appaetite---What to do?

You need to forcefeed earth worms. Use a pop sickle stick to open its mouth. Hold the frog with its nose pointing up. When it opens its mouth drop the worm in. Set the frog down and push on its lower back to get it to jump. It will swallow the food then.

Hi Mike thanks for the great advise. I know you're an expert on this species so I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. I just tried force feed it with half of a thawed mouse and once I get the mouse pass its tongue it wouldn't spit it back out. I also found out these Cornuta eats amphibians, reptiles, and fish in its native habitat, but gold fish is full of parasites and diseases. I really don't want to catch local herps just to feed my pet frog plus chances are local amphibians have chytrid fungus. So, is it possible to have mice as its staple diet?

Much appreciated,
