Froglets can be quite skiddish. Make sure it's in a low traffic area so it won't be easily disturbed. Remove any uneaten or dead food items from it's enclosure and keep it quiet for a day or two, then add just 1 or 2 small crickets and see if this won't trigger a feeding response. Too many food items crawling around can be stressful to a new or young captive. If it's not already housed singley, you might consider doing so as soon as possible. I'm also assuming water quality and enclosure temperatures are within reason. Good luck!
