    I think I've seen several threads you've posted over a short time about your frog not eating well, and honestly I doubt it's from lack of scheduling. Yes, they do eat better on a schedule and after lights out, but usually if they are hungry enough that alone will not keep them from eating for that long.
    Are you certain the temp/humidity are correct? What sort of thermometer/hygrometer are you using? Some kinds can be very inaccurate. It just sounds like your frog has been refusing to eat or eating very little for a long time now, and that just doesn't sound like something that's just due to scheduling.

    Unless your frog is in a room that has no windows, it can almost definitely tell that 6 or 7 o'clock isn't night-time especially during summer. They can tell the difference between day/night at the bottom of the rainforest floor with trees and vines blocking most of the sun, so even if the tank isn't in direct light, they know when it's nighttime. If you really think your frog won't eat because it thinks it's daytime, you should be bumping lights out further back.

    Also, try feeding a few minutes AFTER lights out as opposed to before. It may not be as convenient for you, but if your frog isn't eating well it's a lot more likely to eat after dark than before.
    I am currently look for a new hygrometer and thermometer be user my old ones stopped working, I found a few on amazon and even both for seven dollars, i don't know about the quality and i will send you the link as soon as possible. Also, what if I feed outside if the enclosure in a feeding dish, will moving the frog out and putting it in a separate container stress him out too much?

    If they're both for seven dollars, they're probably the more inaccurate kind... But go ahead and put up a link just in case you ended up with an amazing deal. A hand-held laser thermometer is the most accurate. They're like twenty dollars at Petco and they last a long time. The ones you stick on the side of the tank can be off by like seven or eight degrees.

    Yeah, if you haven't had a thermometer/hygrometer in there I'm betting that's your problem instead of scheduling.
