Try to force feed it with some tongs. Or go to a vet. But try force feeding it first.

Sounds like your frog is trying or going into the stage of hibernation. Also, feeding it pinkies in that short amount of time may be too much for your frog...if its hungry, trust me, it'll eat. You can check out more info below at Horned Frog Haven!

Ignore the poster who said to force-feed, this is simply bad advice. Horned frogs go into a state of brumation (hibernation, but for amphibs) where they secrete a mucous layer over the top of them to lock in moisture and usually burrow. How to bring your frog out of this? Gradually start leaving your light on longer, raise the temp gradually and spray the frog/the substrate he is under often. What you are trying to replicate is the rainy season so that he comes out of brumation. Don't worry unless he is showing noticable signs of weight loss and he isn't buried. My adult pac went 6 months without eating and then when he resurfaced he ate about 3 times his body weight in 2 weeks. Good luck!
