    you can try mealworms but make sure not to feed too many, they are fatty and have
    a hard exoskelleton. try using twiezers to mimic movements of the food in front of the
    frog, i work at a pet store that has some trouble feeder pixies and pacs and this
    technique has always worked with crickets and worms alike.

    Yeah dude I have tried that and still nothing, she just turns her back on it. She does tong feed but no interest in the worms at all? Is locust alright as a staple, mixed with other things of course?

    When I feed my beardies with locusts I hold one back for Norman and he does eat them. They are nutritional and he also gets a waxworm once a week, they are fattening so don't go mad with them.

    Offer two or 3 Waxworms occationally, but note that they are high in fat. Avoid Mealworms and use their larger relative called Superworms. They have a little less chitin in their exoskeleton and are much larger. Only offer these items as treats.

    It may take time to get your frog to eat earthworms since it has had a deprived diet. Keep trying though. He may come around.
