You should be able to agitate him without having to 'pry' open his mouth. If you can take the cockroach and tease it around your pac's mouth until he opens him mouth(almost like a threat to bite you), ease a *small* portion of the roach into his mouth.

Make sure there's plenty to grasp onto but not too much that you gag the poor fellow.

It may or may not work, but Miss, my frog, takes it like clock work and it never fails(as far as the teasing her lips until she opens her mouth).

Its kinda a crude method and depending on the frog, it may or may not stress them a bit. But. It stresses them a lot less than(or so I believe) than having to pry your little guy's jowls open.
It doesn't work he ignores it and walk backwards if I try giving him the cockroach by stroking it against his mouth. He never opens his mouth, he never even try to bite my finger, nothing.. it's as if he's tired at life itself... he doesn't get motivation to hunt, only thing he does is jumping around at night into the walls... (or so I hear)

The credit card method is a last solution only, I'm worried he will die soon cause he shows no interest in eating... I'm starting to believe that he might been to weak as a juvenile and would have been eaten up by his siblings there for he's weak in his spirit and body as an almost adult frog.

I've tried stroking food against his lips for weeks, dead, alive, dry, wet, big, small he shows no interest, doesn't move a muscle or even focus his eyes indicating "hey I've seen it and it's not that tempting"...
