Look, as I said he wont be able to catch the crickets. The crickets are too fast for him. Think of it like this, do you think an obese person can be as fast as an athletic person?(no offense to anyone out there. Just trying to prove a point.) The answer is no. Same with your frog, its supposed to be fat, but alas because its fat it cannot go catch the crickets. They depend on chamoflauge. Just get a large DEEP dish and put live earthworms in there. For best result try getting a 2-3 inch deep bowl.

Also hes probably still afraid of you and anyone else. I have a cane toad, named bubby. Shes afraid of everyone. Anyone picks her up and she pees on them. Lately shes been taming down. But it took her half a year to do that. Well since I got her. Like I said dont feed mice or any sort of rodent to your frog. Its extremely unhealthy for them.


As for your set up. I dont know much about your set up.

But heres what works for most people that I know that have these frogs(quite alot, since they are common.).

Make sure to cover the left, right and backside of the terrarium.
People say a 10gallon is okay for these frogs. Personally, I think thats a bit cramped. Even though they dont move much, they still move somewhat everyso often. So I say go for a 30 breeder. Their not TOOO big, but not TOO small. They tend to come with a lid that you can put a lock on. You can get em used online or buy them at a regular petstore. Petsmart stocks these.

You should most defenitely use REGULAR soil. Coco husk and all that stuff tends to stick to the frog itself, and ived had myself, and know friends who have had problems with these dirt. I mean put your hand on it, the dirt stick to you. Why wouldnt it stick to a frog? So. I would do a layer of 3inches deep of gravel on the bottom followed up with some sheets of plexiglass(thin), then 4inches deep of soil. You should get dried up leaves and cover the bottom with it. These frogs will appreciate it. I think joshs frog also sells them if you want to buy them rather than go out and get em.

Plants? Id say ferns, phelodendruns and the sort will work. Make sure NOT to put a real bright light in the tank. I would keep the plants potted.

Fake plants id say ivy?

Anywho, just stay away from rodents. You could still try crickets, but he wont be able to catch em and give up. Try slow items like worms, slugs, and stuff of the sort. DOnt try goldfish, reptiles, other amphibians, mammals, etc. Because they can transmit parasites or other stuff to your frog and are not healthy for it. Mice are mainly just made of fat. These frogs need to be fat, but they shouldnt get item sthat are high in fat.

Oh and just give him time to settle in. Sometimes animals take in a long time to get used to their owners. Just as a child takes time to get used to new people. Or better yet, new "parents". Food for thought.
Also, pebbles in the aquatic part is okay. Just because hes not going to consume them. He wont eat in the water. I f you put pebbles in the land area yes. So a dish with water and pebbles as a surface is okay. Just mak e sure to clean them daily, and watch him for behaviour.
