    Temps are a little too low. Bump them up to 80-83 during the day and 75-80 at night.
    Also, if he's buried all the way, if it doesn't seem to bother him too much you can unbury him to offer food if it's been awhile.

    Other than that, sounds like everything's good!

    Thanks, ill bump up the heat. But now i'm starting to get a little bit worried, it's been 2 weeks and he still has not eaten a single cricket!
    He must be getting hungry but he shows no interest at all, i have also tried wiggling it in front of him with tongs.
    Any advise ?

    Many new frogs take a while to get used to their new home and start eating. Offer food every day until he takes it. I reccomend you get a fecal exam done as well just to rule out any possible problems if you can locate a sample

    Hello, are you only trying crickets at the moment? I asked because when I had my female Cranwelli she always took crickets as a baby, and then once she was about 2 inches she refused them and went to nightcrawlers. It didn't matter how much I tried she would not take them, she would turn from them or she would take it from the tongs in her lips then open her mouth and let them fall out. Drop a nightcrawler in front of her and it was gone before u could blink. Maybe try switching your feeders to something bigger and maybe he will eat, its worth a try. Also I don't how much truth there is to this but I once was told from the guy here at the reptile store that if the meal being presented doesn't seem big enough to waste the energy on they will wait for a bigger prey item to come strolling buy. He said it was part of the natural predator instinct and that many predator animals will do the same in the wild.

    Thanks for the help
    I'm trying to find a bait worm breeder, if i do what should i ask him about the worms? I have heard that some bait worms are fed something that should not be eaten by frogs, is this true?
