    You can try training them by first changing the way you feed the live food... Frogs generally do not take non-living, non-moving food, but you can try to have them associate the dropping of stuff in the tank to the arrival of food. Sooner or later, they should be able to understand that anything that had just just dropped into the tank is food. But do it only when they are waiting for the drop...

    Alternatively, you can try mealworms when they are molting so they are more easily digestible. Feed the mealworms with good healthy frog-essential vitamin meals to pack them with nutrition, wait for them worms to molt and then feed them to the frogs.

    Oh, by the way, its White's Tree Fog, not white tree frog...

    I meant when their skin is softer... As the worms grow bigger, they shed skin too and when they do that, their body becomes softer, paler and sometimes white...

    You can also feed them when they first get into their pupae stage as their pupae cases will still be soft...

    The frogs usually avoid eating the adult beetles... I think that is because they stink...
