I have a budgetts frog in a 10 gallon tank in 2 inches of water with 2 25 watt night glow lamps. 3 weeks ago he stopped eating the crickets I gave him. Any suggestions?

Have you tried feeding other prey items such as fish or worms?

try fish and earthworms

I tried feeding him dead rosy reds. I'll try live ones this evening.

Feed live ones and only do a few and try leaving them over night, he may want to hunt in the dark for them.

I tried putting in 3 rosy reds. One died, one disappeared and one is still in the tank. Thank you for the advice.

one is missing that is a good sign, good luck
