    Really changing anything in their set up including adding a light could stress them out. Just give them some time to adjust and they should start eating again

    Try not to worry too much. They are very resilient; you could end up making things worse instead of better and just driving yourself crazy in the process.

    Thank you.

    I've tried crickets, wax worms, and now red worms and they will not eat in front of me. I think they're either in a state or semi dormancy or eating at night. I can't think of anything in their habitat that I could adjust other than maybe a water change, but I'm beginning to just think they are shy about eating.

    They are still fat which makes me feel better. I took Odin and Heimdallr out to feed them separately to no avail. I think I'm just pissing them off and stressing them out.

    Heimdallr, and the next two are Odin (who by the way is really brightening up).

    ETA: I didn't bother trying to take Loki out and doing the same. He's far more skittish than these two and I doubt it would have worked.

    My toads r super fussy too. They get crickets, redworms, mealworms and small supers. Sometimes they will hand feed, sometimes not. I just try to mix things up as they tend to get bored of one food item quickly

    If by Red worms you mean Red Wrigglers; they are not a good food. When stressed they produce a foul tasting slime that will prevent frogs from eating them. Then frogs could associate similar earthworms to them and stop eating those too .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Update: The problem seems to have resolved itself. I went to a family owned pet shop the next town over and got smaller crickets, hoping it would solve the problem, and it did. They've been munching on crickets ever since.
