I am pretty concerned about his eating, because I don't want to mess with him too much, being a delicate species. Anyways, here are some pictures of him an his setup, enjoy!

    Both the frog and the setup look beautiful. Regarding with the frog not eating, I would actually transfer the froglet to a much smaller enclosure and use moist paper towels (moisten with dechlorinated water) instead of the sphagnum moss. For a couple of reasons: the first is that crickets have too many hiding spots in the current setting, so your froglet basically have a hard time seeing its preys. Another reason is that moist paper towel proves to be a much safer substrate than mosses when it comes to accidental ingestion. Moss, if ingested, may cause unwanted impaction. This is possible when the froglet hunts freely in the tank. Where accidental ingestion is almost not possible when paper towel is used. I've raise a couple of baby Cornuta that were smaller than my thumb nail by using the above mention setting. At early developmental stages like this I would suggest you offer undyed Canadian nightcrawler cutting to appropriate piece to tong-feed them. It will prove valuable in the long run.

    Here are a few instruction videos on horned frog feeding that may be helpful to you.

    Note: You may notice that these froglets were kept in small plastic cups with paper towel. I don't recommend keeping them in such small "enclosures" like that. IvoryRetile is a commercial horned frog breeder so they had to do that for time-saving and convenience when they have 100+ frogs to care on a daily basis.
