    Looks like a Hyla cinerea to me. If it's not eating the crickets right away, you might try the http://www.frogforum.net/vivarium-te...owl-trick.html so they aren't able to climb all over the frog.

    I may have missed it, but how big are the crickets you're feeding and how big is the frog?

    The tank is also on the small side if it's an adult, bigger is better especially in the upwards direction. They like to climb and sit up high, you're unlikely to find it hiding in the rock if the rock is near the ground.

    It may take time to settle in, it's good advice to move it to a quiet spot. Good luck!

    Alright,I think this is where we're at,your frog won't eat,has crickets crawling all over him,and you stick your hands in twice a day to change water.for now,don't change it twice a day,just leave it alone,,next pull out all the crickets and let him sit for 24 hours quiet.the next night,take a piece of cricket and impale it on the end of a thin guitar string..a.006 E- string,,and start buzzing it around his head like a bug.ive noticed that frogs usually fall this trick...

    He's about 2.5" long.

    We bought medium size crickets as per the rec of the sales associate at petland.
