how often do these frogs typically defecate? Mine goes once a week when I soak him.

About once a week. They'll get a hard lump on their side if they get backed up

Do they ever walk or hop around? I don't think I've ever seen one actually move.

They'll move around at night some then go back to their hole. Caatinga is a type of horned frog that's fairly active. I have a male cranwelli that I found in my driveway like 5 yrs ago. He stays buried half the yr though. I thought he died this past winter. Dung him up and he started moving his legs last weekend

So far no interest in night crawlers. Does starving them work to get them to eat?

Not a good idea with any frog, do you have any crickets?

That sucks. Cornuta in the wild are mainly frog eaters if I'm not mistaken. I would just keep after it. That red wiggler could of put her off with the bad taste. I would supplement with dusted crickets, but keep pushing the worms if it was me.

This is what can bite you in the butt with hybrids like these. They look great with the horns but they can be really picky. Even captive bred Cornuta can be a royal pia to get to eat.

Because they starve to death fairly easy
