    What is his condition? What does he look like? Is he really skinny? You might need to copy and paste a picture you posted on another website

    Was the pinky live or frozen/thawed?
    Some frogs are very picky about eating food that isn't moving on its own.

    also I know that this might be a long shot since you have moss in the enclosure.
    The next time you dig it up , feel its sides for a semi soft or hard lump.
    If you feel a large lump, it needs to have a good BM.

    I would do a warm water soak with plain honey.
    What works the best for me is a plastic bin that has sides no shorter than 4in.
    A large dark colored towel.
    Another small plastic bin with just plain warm water to rinse off the honey.
    And some kind a thermometer to make sure the water is not above 82F MAX.

    The water level shouldn't be too deep that your frog has to swim to keep its nose above the water.
    The top of the water level should just touch its chin.

    You only need a few good large drops of honey in the water.

    once you mixed it completely , put th frog in and cover with the towel to keep it calm and a bit of privacy.
    45min should be long enough.

    In all actuality I would do the soak even if it doesn't have a lump just to help hydrate and give it some carbs to maybe
    increase its appetite.

    Best of luck.

    Starting to look a little thin... I agree, check the frog's right side for a lump. If you can feel one, do a honey bath. You may need to gently massage the lump if nothing's happening.
