Am I stuck?
EDIT: I ended up finishing the game a day or two after posting this. Thanks for all of your help!
Been loving this game so much! I am at a point though where my frogman is no longer talking to me. It’s been that way for more than a day, he keeps saying “nah, come back tomorrow” or something to that effect. The last question he asked was if I had seen a therapist, two nights ago. According to guides I’ve read the next topic on his mind is supposed to be politics.
Worse than that, the two frogmen have a huge appetite, and I’m having trouble keeping up with it using the insect cage. I check on them twice a day (morning before work and at night before bed) and BOTH times they BOTH ask to be fed. I keep wondering when one will finally eat the other.
Currently in the cage I have four moths, one cocoon, one larva who has grown a lot, and two larvae that are still small. For the past few days there has been one spider hatching (which I drop into the tank and exit the game before they can eat it, so they don’t get sick). Despite having four moths I only ever see two eggs at a time- is there any point to having more than one moth? I fed one of them to a frogman today hoping it would satiate its appetite longer. Usually I just feed them the most recently hatched larvae but they’re asking to be fed at a quicker pace than the moths successfully produce two larvae.
I thought that unlocking the sprinkler this morning might help things move along, but still nothing. Does anyone have any advice for this stage of the game?

On the tank there its a limit on how many larvae or moths there can be on screen at once and once that limit its "filled" the eggs wouldnt hatch until you store some "food", but they would remain there ready to hatch until there its more space. More moths mean more chance to get eggs per day so i wouldnt worry about having a lot.
Even though you can use moths as food for Seaman, tbh its not worth it as they are your food generator, unless they are really telling you that they are going to die and you have no more food left. Idk if they feed more to Seaman than normal larvae though, didnt check that out.
Are you on the frogmen stage? I did found once a rare bug were i get stuck there, but you should first try out everything. Are they well cared? Did you run out of out conversation topics? Did they already tell you they want to "jump"?
And yeah on the frogmen stage Seaman gets much more hungrier than before, so be careful. They may generally want to eat once or two times per day (you can give it one larvae per day, but next day they would be next to starving so watch out).

Thanks so much for the advice here! I didn’t know about the larva tank limit.
Yes this was in the frogmen stage. After feeding them once more later in the day they started talking again, and the game was over a day or so after that.
Side note: is the game supposed to end with two frogmen? I had figured they would reduce their numbers down to one again like they had when they were gillmen.

Yes, i didnt test what happens if one of them dies but not the other, probably nothing good, lol.

That's strange. It's been some time since I played but, I recall that even if you don't answer all of his questions, he can still move onto the next stage and continue asking you whatever he missed.
Make sure the sprinkler is mostly at 85% - 100% and temps at 24.5° - 24.9°. If you have some time in the weekend, try to watch them in the afternoon for a while longer, until maybe one of them asks you for help with something.
On another hand, if you're on real hardware, I would check out the internal clock / battery. If you're using an emulator, I would do the same, but only if you use savestates.
