My pet Acanthophrynus coronatus won't eat his food. Can you tell me what to do to get him to eat?

It was a subadult and ate food a few times after molting, but then stopped eating.

In order to get them to eat, we increased the temperature and humidity, tried different types of food, and even moved them to a larger case, but they still wouldn't eat the food.

His belly is flat and doesn't look like it's molting yet, and he hasn't eaten anything for about a month, so I'm very worried.

Can someone who knows about Acanthophrynus coronatus anorexia tell me how to cure it?

I'm having trouble finding information about this Acanthophrynus coronatus on the internet.

If you have any questions about the individual, photos, or anything else you would like to know, I will reply.

The breeding case is about 70cm high, 60cm wide, and 50cm deep, with a humidity level of 70 percent and a temperature of 26 degrees. It has a fan to keep it from getting too humid.

I moved it aside to take some pictures, but there are some corkboards propped up so you can hide behind them.

Bananas are planted in the large case to maintain humidity.

Looks fine to my eyes.

Sorry, the translation seems a bit tedious.
The weight was about 6-7 grams.
He's not eating, but he's fast and threatening.

I think the total length is about 5cm?

I have no experience with acanthophrynus, but how large of prey are you feeding it? The prey shouldn't be too large or small. @Sarkhan42 has much more experience than me, and might be able to help more

Feed them with different sizes of food.
The fast-moving fish were given two types of food: one with the legs removed, and one with the legs removed.

 

[cdre21015]

Periplaneta lateralis
Blaptica dubia
Cosymbotus platyurus
Acheta domestica
Gryllus campestris
Oxya yezoensis
Mecopoda niponensis

I tried these and he didn't eat any of them

Premolt? They can stop feeding if they're getting ready to molt like tarantulas.

 

[Sarkhan42]

That Acanthophrynus is a healthy weight for its size. As they grow their feeding slows down, and adult males will actually remain VERY thin. This can be confusing because juveniles and whiplings will gorge themselves, but I do not see reason to worry at this time.

Give it time.

He had been eating a lot of food up until then, so I was worried because he suddenly stopped eating.
In fact, there are other fish of this size that have stopped eating, so if that is the reason, it makes sense.
Thank you for letting me know

Also, I heard that the males are thin, but does that mean that all thin individuals are males? Can thinness be used to determine sex?

By the time that this begins to happen, they should already be clearly sexually dimorphic.
