Hmmm...well, it sounds like it may work for you if you feed outside of the tank. Keep us posted .

My baby is an aggressive eater. He doesn't mind being picked up either. "Tank" loves to soak too. He's in his water hole daily and it helps him to pass his feces. I can see where yours could love the water . And, he'll be well-hydrated, lol!

Do you have any close-ups of your frog?
