My opinion...leave them be.
Well I see where you are coming from, but I barely handle my frogs at all. Only if he is in his water bowl will I take him out so I can change it, or when it is feeding time I set him into a separate bin to feed which is every 2 days. If owners are having a hard time getting a consistent feeding, then why not let them try out the separate bin. If I would of saw my frog stressed out and just stopped eating as soon as I placed him in there, I would of known that it wasn't going to work and would of just had to stick to feeding him in his tank. With my pixie, obviously you already know this, but they are ambush predators and my pixie literally won't even barely hop for his food anymore. He'll stay in one corner of the sterilite bin while I tong feed him night crawlers and shove crickets his way. That's very hard to do in a tank that has plants, etc. I just want him to grow big and strong with plenty of food where I feel he is content, he has no signs of being lethargic or ill. Maybe this is the case with other frogs, but I'm a strong believer in a separate feeding bin with these guys to be honest.
