I think you have taken all the right steps so far. Its not easy to suggest what the problem might be with out seeing the frog or the set up of his/her enclosure. I think if he continues not to eat then the next step would be the vet. Good luck.

I need to see what plants u have in the viv. I almost lost mine beccause of a umbrella plant which is on a few lists of suggested plants for frog vivs. U could try pedialite, mix 1/10 with water. It's got vitamins and may keep him going for a while. Waxworms are quite a tempting treat, if u have thongs (or tweezers) grasp them by the head and they'll swing around making them irresistable. So go to Walmart or your local bait shop, there like 2$ for 2 doz. Walmart will pick through and give u all live ones if they look bad.
Despite my best efforts my little Itty passed last night... its a very sad time as he was the first frog I have ever lost..

I am very sorry to hear that your frog passed away. D: It is very likely that whatever ailment he had was stress induced because of the harsh environment he was subjected to at PetCo. Don't feel bad, you did everything you were supposed to do, I promise. D: All you can do now is watch your other frog very closely and see if he starts exhibiting the same symptoms. If he does look like he's starting to deteriorate just as the other frog did, I would strongly recommend you take him to a vet and make sure you stop whatever ailment caused the other one's death before it's too late.
I wish you luck and my condolences for your loss.<3

I'm sorry. I think you tried your best
Thank you for your comforting words everyone, I really appreciate it. My other little guy is looking ok, he was nice and plump when I got him. Bitty(My surviving WTF) ate 2 supplement dusted wax worms the day I got him home by tong. Since then he has not eaten by tong I don't push it because I'm afraid I will cause him too much stress. I hope that with patients and time he will warm up to the tongs again.

You're doing everything right, just give the little guy some time and I' sure he'll come around. All frogs are different when they're adjusting. My baby White's ate perfect for the first week after I brought him home, then he went through a phase where he wouldn't even look at a cricket. A few days later he perked up and started eating again and has been ever since. ^ ^
