    Ya I noticed you said in the other thread the previous owner was feeding frogs and guppies, not the best staple diet due to to parasites and other things. And ya unfortunately all can say for advice is keep trying the crickets and worms and eventually he will take them. And if not from being annoyed he is eventually going to get hungry and when that hunger comes I bet he will be willing to eat anything. Another thing to think of is a frog is bigger then a couple crickets so it would take longer to digest, so if the guy fed him lets say right before you got him he may still be full. Maybe contact the previous owner and when the last feeding was and how much.

  2. This member thanks monster for this post:

    Crickets are a pain. If you can get away from feeding him crickets, I suggest you do. Crickets are a mission and they are loud and stinky. If you could, feed him nightcrawlers that would be great. I feed my pacman dusted nightcrawlers and she loves them. Nightcrawlers are great for these guys, easy to maintain and even to breed if you wanted to. Plus they are quiet and don't stink. Plus they can live for extended periods of time with little maintenance, unlike crickets. I would say once nice size nightcrawler is equivalent to 5 large crickets at least. I also give my frog some fish from time to time, not often. Pinkies as a treat whenever I am around a pet shop that sells them alive not frozen. No more than once a month on the pinkies btw. My frog also likes that pacman food zoomed sells that you wet and roll up, smells like cat food lol. Take some of it and fit into a cricket mold and fed it to your frog, he wont tell the difference..LOL JK. No hoppers or mice, they can hurt your frog. Good luck
