    Yup go ahead and offer home a worm with tongs. At that size he can easily eat a whole nightcrawler. Or you can chop the worm in half and offer both halves. We are going to need a pic to identify what type of frog you have.

    What Dan said Andrew! Placing worm in front of mouth might work if frog is afraid of tongs. Here is a good article with lots of information on their care: Frog Forum - Pacman and Horned Frogs - Ceratophrys - Care and Breeding. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    He will be fine in the 5 gallon for a while. Just offer as much as he will eat in 15 minutes. They will not over eat.

    No moss in the tank. Can cause a serious impacting.

    At that size yes. He should start slowing down his eating at around three inches. You still need to remove the moss even of you feed in a seperate enclosure. When these frogs shed (which is quite often) they slide the skin towards their mouth and eats the shedded skin. If there is moss on the frogs skin he will eat it a long with the skin.

    I think your good. Its winter time so dont expect your frog to eat too much. Just as long as he is eating something and he isn't losing weight.

    Keep offering food he will eat when he's ready but if more than 8 to 10 days go by you may want to force feed.

    As for the tomato frog. What are you offering for food?

    They go through phases like this. Be patient and keep offering food.
