My frog has had a lost in appetite for the last 2 weeks.

yes i have tried them and for some reason he hates them he spits those out no matter what i dk he is a weird charecter.. So how could i help him not notice the light should i like turn a light on in my room and leave it on for 12 hours or what because i want him to be out of this and im trying to feed him now and he keeps jumping into the side of the bucket for no reason and looking up showing no interest in the crickets.... He's is acting very weird lately the only way i got him to eat was by force feeding him that pinky how long can he go without eating after i fed him that? So i should probably get a light bulb to provide a daynight cycle to? because i honestly never have had one for him and he has been fine..

Being an Albino you won't be able to use any daylight/spotlight bulbs in his heat lamp if you have one for risk of harm to the frog. You could leave a light on for 12 hours and have it on a timer to come on and off at the same time everyday. Are you removing him from his enclosure to feed? If so don't and feed him in his home where he feels secure.

Give this a try. He can go nearly a week on a pinky maybe less depending on his metabolism.

Honestly i do not like leaving him in his cage to feed but i will try the only reason is because he is such a clumsy eater he will go to eat miss and eat a mouth full of the soil i will try this and hopefully he will eat. Do you think it would be okay to leave like 1 or 2 crickets in there overnight so maybe he warms up to the idea of eating or what? because i honestly am getting worried and don't want something bad to happen to him. Also if he goes to sleep how can i wake him up,? do i just place him in his water dish and hopefully he awakes?

You can leave crickets in over night, but remove them in the morning. If he goes down to aestivate you'll need to give him a long warm de-chlorinated soak and warm his enclosure up a little more. Keeping temps 80° and maintained that way as well as high humidity will prevent his slumber.

Do you have a UTH on the side of the tank as well?? Using both a UTH on the side of the tank and a heat lamp will solve the problem.

Zoo Med makes some decent UTHs. They make them in tank sizes like 10-20 gallon and so on. They're usually $20.00 and up.
