Feed less and less often. Consider skipping a day or two between feedings. Offer appropriately sized prey (crickets,earthworms, waxworms, etc). Generally, you don't want to feed anything bigger than the width of their heads. Maintain water quality via filtration and/or water changes. Amphibians are very sensitive to poor water quality and can get sick quickly.
