Pacman chunky frog how to get him on a regular diet?

[MissFroggyToes]

we have a less than a year old pacman frog in a 10gallon with moss a heating pad on the side and a day lamp. the temp stays usually at 70 and humidity atleast 80. we unbury him and try to feed him aleast 10 large dusted crix. but he'll some times eat them and some times doesnt care and will go back to his buried state. i was thinking of trying a thawed frozen mouse but i dont know if he will actually go for it ? i shall pick up some earth worms to try and wow him with those but i havent found any container of goood priced healthy earth worms. anyone know anything else they lovee? his name his Diabetose, and hes me and my boyfriend's chunky frog we just want him to be fat and happy hAHa.
