Yea I am not digging him up or anything. Just going to offer him food when he surfaces or is half burrowed looking like he wants something to walk buy. But he is not very aggressive so I basically have to get the food started when and if he opens up. So I guess I am force feeding I am just not prying his mouth open. He just gets irritated enough to bite at it.
Is an earth worm the same as red wigglers? Read the red wigglers can secrete something these species tend to not like.
Your frog is definitely fatter than mine. Surely his appetite will pickup soon.
