how long has it been a froglet? I had a 3 leopard froglets that took nearly 3 weeks after absorbing their tails before they accepted food.

Keep feeding him small, and only small, things.

Don't use mealworms for such small creatures, anyway. They're too hard to digest, so just stick to tiny crickets for now.
