As long as it isn´t a problem for you to feed them live food, your frogs will be fine without pellets. While Reptomin pellets seem to provide about everything an ACF needs, it´s no must If you still want your frogs to to eat Reptomin, I would recommend fasting them for about a week and then feed nothing but the pellets until they reliably accept them. As long as they get more appealing food, they probably won´t go crazy about pellets. Possible leftovers should be removed after about an hour.
Agreed, earthworms are sufficient as a staple diet. In fact a lot of zoos and exhibits feed them exclusively with frogs that are over 20 years old. As far as pellets go, Reptomin is not the be all end all food either. In fact there are some ingredients I do not care for. There are a lot of better foods on the market. Reptomin is very convenient though as most stores selling pet food carry it.
