Why won't my Pacman Frog eat Waxworms?

[R3N3G4D3]

For some reason Jiraiya won't eat the waxworms I purchased him! D: He chomps down crickets within seconds of them being in his cage, but ignores the waxworms I put into the cage. Any ideas as to why? I've tried using tongs, but they seem to stress him out and he hops away. I dig him up from his hides too, so he can see them clearly and so they won't bury in the substrate.

They probably just aren't active enough to get his attention! Also sometimes the animals will just get used to one type of feeder and ignore the rest

I'd go w/ they don't wiggle enough to trip his hunting instincts. You could try feeding them from forceps and help them wiggle.

The guys have hit the nail on the head. Your frog also needs to get used to you using forceps to feed it. If it's a new frog then it will take time. Once the frog is used to the forceps you may also have to let the frog miss a few meals before he'll be tempted to try a new food.
