She's still pretty chunky, though--how long can they last without food?
Try a canadian nightcrawler, they sell them in the bait section at WalMart. Clawed frogs have a hard time resisting them, but they are known to ignore reptomin (mine do not go crazy for it all the time).

Clawed frogs can go a long time without eating, a while back I had a clawed frog that would not eat for over a month but then one day she just started eating like normal and has been eating ever since.

Also make sure your water quality is good, I would invest in an API Freshwaster Master Kit so you can test your Ammonia/Nitrite/Nitrate level so you know water chemistry is ok. You want zero Ammonia/Nitrite and a low amount of Nitrate, if that checks out your water quality is good.

Last suggestion would be to make sure the tank is in a quiet place, clawed frogs are kind of skittish, I keep my frogs in my office room which is a low traffic area of the house. Having a background can help with stress too. I noticed your tank is kind of bare, you may want to invest in some water sprite or some other floating plants, these make clawed frogs feel more secure (and improve water quality too).
