    Hello Daboogymann... I am not exactly familar with this species, however, I can offer this advice. crickets should never be left in a tank to roam free. Crickets will feed on the animals that are in the tank. They can cause quite the wounds to animals and can become bigger problems if they become infected. Also, if the animals are getting bit, it will cause the animal stress and it might not eat. You should try tong feeding... hold the cricket close to the frogs mouth and see if he eats it.

    Also, maybe try nightcrawlers... If they are too big, just cut them in half and try to feed the frog with the tongs.

    Also, temperature is very important, if it is too cold, a frog may not eat. After you find out the appropriate temps for the species, you will need to make sure you use an accurate thermometer or temp gun to verify temps. I know that most frogs like it in the mid 80's F or so

    Also, are you sure its tanzanian?? If you haven't maybe search the web for a pic of tree frog that looks liek yours. Then look for a care sheet..

    I'm positive it's a Tanzanian. I've got him in a whites tree frog setup at the moment and I've tried hand feeding him because that's how I feed all of my frogs and he gets angry and hops off.

    I have no idea... She got it from someone on craigslist and she got it from a pet store that is no longer around. He just came out of hiding half an hour ago and I got a glimpse of him eat a mealworm I left in his dish. I think he's nocturnal and only eating at night, that's why I don't see him eat.

    I'm sorry that I can't help you out on this one. I don't know anything about frogs :( . Good luck with everything.
