    I cut the tip off the skewers so they're not too sharp lol.. but yeah some very long plastic tweezers or forceps would work better, been trying to find some around here no luck so far.

    BTW I ran a little experiment I tossed a small piece frozen blood worms into the aquarium and turned on the moonlights.. both frogs are scouring the bottom of the tank like mad for food and seem eager.. I think my frog has reptomin burn out..

    What I do if I was gonna feed them floating food is I would get a wooden rod and place it near their head then raise it a bit so they can see it and if they still don't respond I shake it to get their attention. Then I raise the rod to the surface near the food. Sometimes I might gently touch them with the rod to get their attention if needed.

    I use the non-pointy end of a bamboo skewer to do this too. They will follow it to the surface and I nudge the pellets around and they will snatch them fast and retreat to the substrate as if they were hunting for terrestrial insects or insects that dwell on the surface of the water in the wild.

    Their "eat and retreat" method of hunting can be rather amusing to observe.
