Follow the suggestions on the pedialyte soak. Distilled water is only good for misting the tank but they need spring, rain or treated tap water for soaking. I personally use rain water that I have collected. My WTF won't eat earthworms or nightcrawlers, but they LOVE butter or wax worms. Do not feed meal worms since they are harder to digest and he/she is so skinny you don't want to put any more strain on the frog. My main feeders are red runner roaches. Better nutrition and softer exoskeletons. Good luck.
