They will not eat the dead.

Nope, they won't. Not to sound mean to amphibians. But for the most part most amphibians are generally "dim-witted". They mainly go by hard core instincts. No feelings, thoughts, etc. Even if we want to see them to have emotions(personally Iam one of those people who deep downs believes they probably do have emotions) they dont. What Iam trying to say is, your frog isnt being picky because he doesnt like it or whatever. ITs more of HE has to see it MOVE, even if it was alive and it was just sitting there like a rock it would not eat it. Its not that it eats alive, its more of movement. There is a dish that supposedly promotes movement but here is the cons:
1)Scares the frogs.
2)overly priced
3)Loud
4)Dangerous---perhaps.

Some people h ave tried tweeziers---but these people are hard core pros.
Stick to live crawling insects. You can feed it:
1)crickets-staple diet
2)Roaches-Smaller ones provide a better nutrition than the crickets, but are gross. Lol'd
3)Red wriggler high protein and low fat. I still wouldnt use this as a staple diet. Things like toads, pixies and etc benefit more from this than a chorus frog, because the said toads/frogs are fat as heck and lazy. While chorus frogs are active and picky eaters. Btw, never attempt to feed mice--- I have a friend who was foolish enough to try to feed a mouse to his whites(the treefrog is big), the mouse bit the treefrog in the leg. Don't leave crickets more than an hour in the tank with the frogs. Crickets CAN and WILL bite the frog. They are stupid cannibalistic creatures. So yeah watch out for that.

They definitely need live food. Some pet stores sell crickets in various sizes. They are usually about $1 a dozen. There are also what are called pinhead crickets, but they are tiny, so you get less food for your buck. If you live in an area that doesn't get sprayed with pesticides or other chemicals, you can also catch small grasshoppers, crickets, and other insects. If you live near where you found them, local insects might be more familiar to them. You could even try small roaches. But, stay away from ants, caterpillars, and brightly colored insects, which can have toxins. Also, many beetles have toxins or irritants and due to their hard exoskeletons don't make very quality food.

Good luck and don't forget the water and soil/leaf litter.
