I have offered him food every day, still nothing. He burrows next to the heat pad with his eyes sticking out, but shows absolutely no interest in his food. I need help :/

5" frog very rarely is interested in crickets, they are simply too small for them to waste their energy for.
do you know what she was eating before you got her? Saying she cos 5" frog most likely is a girl, unless ornate. it's hard to break their habits, chances are she is used to being fed one type of food, or she is not tong trained. In that case you get her whatever she is used to and then go from there.
if you don't know and there is no way to find this out, get her a live fussy, they are bigger then pinkies but still young enough to do any damage. Yes, it's not a healthy food, but you gotta see if she is eating, you can try to feed the healthy way later.
also some frogs don't care for earthworms ( nightcrawlers) because of their size, say my over 6" girl would eat them only if I offer 3-4 at once on a tongs, or bend one so it'll look big.
can you post the pic of the frog and its tank?
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
Thanks for the advise, now i just have to find some pinkies.
He still has not eaten but i gave him a honey bath soak and he pooped, very relieved and so is he![]()
I offered him food afterwards, he took it but spat it out. First time he ever tries to grab food.
