Still not eating...

He is young, maybe a bit bigger than a quarter. He just has no interest, and I've tried everything...

My pacmans took some time to transition to Dubia from crickets. The Cranwell's actually would spit them out. Now they love them, so try crickets, if you haven't already. Although it is a matter of personal preference, I liked using paper towels during the juvenile period - easy to clean, no impaction risk, and you don't have to keep digging them (the frogs) up. You can just toss in a cricket or two, and leave them for a bit (although leaving them in for extended periods of time is obviously not the best). My ornate would not initially eat in front of people, but now he'll eat whatever, whenever...

Can I chime in? Though not very active on this forum lately I came across this thread and it sounded like what I went through with my White's Tree Frog when I first got him. Pretty much the same issue.
Not realizing my frog was severely underweight compared to another one I had bought the same week I knew I had a problem. The underweight one is actually in my avatar picture.
He looks totally different now. So what I did was instead of putting the crickets in the terrarium I kept the container he was bought in. I would place him in the container along with three crickets every other day. Well, being the container is small the crickets would eventually walk in front of the frog. This really helped when he was in a small container like this otherwise the frog would go hide or crawl to the top of the terrarium where the crickets weren't located at. I did this for about an hour each day or every other day until I got him to eat on his own. I did this for about 6 months. He doesn't need the help of the container anymore. As a matter a fact he is bypassing the other White's frog in weight and size.
Also I gut feed my crickets so my frogs get the nutrients they need. Every once in a while I'll feed pinkies to them.
Good luck with yours. I'm sure it's the transition he is going through.
Going on almost a year now owning two frogs. I still think they are the coolest!

Pacman frogs are finicky that way. Here's what I suggest. Get him a shallow water bowl, make it take up most of the terrarium space. A good idea is a plant saucer (you know those plastic things that go under plant pots). Put him in it for a few hours. Now dangle half a nightcrawler in front of him on some tweezers. Don't wave it at him, just let it squirm. If he doesn't go for it in a minute or so, drop it in the water bowl with him. The squirming action is great for getting these guys to eat. If you try this, let us know how he gets on.

As has been stated earlier, they don't take to Dubia roaches easily. I had problems doing this with small pacman frogs.
