Sometimes they do that, but it definately is rare for them to not eat if something isn't wrong. Maybe it ate something it wasn't supposed to and it is stuck inside its "plumbing" - impaction. Sometimes you can see if it is impacted by looking at its sides and belly and looking for any protrusions that appear abnormal. If it has always eaten and then stopped, then perhaps force feeding is not the best option, although it very well could be! I would monitor it for "skinniness" and if it gets too skinny and still doesn't eat then I would try force feeding. The only way to find out if it is impacted is to take it to a herp vet, but who in their right mind takes a $20 frog to a vet to pay $200 only to hear the vet say they have no idea?
