The new basby I got can't catch crickets for the life of him! He looks very skinny and malnourished. His hip bones are sticking out. There are tons of crickets in his tank but he can't catch any. HE won't eat from tongs. any suggestions?

You can try feeding him a few wax worms to get some weight on him (they're yummy and easy to catch 
might even dust them so he gets his vits and calc). It is hard for the baby frogs to catch the small crix, I remember this stage too, but if they're hungry enough they'll usually catch them.
Good luck!
(btw, anyone know of an easier food for them? I'd be interested in knowing too)
