next - cover 3 sides of the enclosure.

some frogs have harder time catching moving food, my male is one of those. they want to eat, can't get it easily, get discouraged, stop trying and are scared of tongs. so get a piece of nightcrawler and rub his lips a little, he may or may not eat it at first, but you gotta be persistent, he will get mad at some point, bite it and eat it but don't to annoy his too much right away, he might get scared. do it every day, at some point he will get tongs=food and will have no problems further on.
Thanks. Two sides of the enclosure are covered (hard to see int he pic) but I'll put something over another to see if it helps, and I'll check the temps again. I can leave the ceramic heater on all night as well, it will just mean less of a drop (if any) at night.

And yes, he has a hard time with moving food for sure - but at the same time needs movement. A live cricket can sit directly in front of his mouth, not moving and he wont' eat it. Then it will crawl, he may lunge and miss, and that's that. No eating.

He's not really afraid of the tongs, I often use them to push crickets toward him. I'll try a worm again. I have had them crawl over his mouth/face with no luck. It's frustrating but I'll keep at it.
