Will hand feeding frogs make them more sociable?

[DC101]

I would put a bowl in the viv but i still can't really monitor their feeding because one may be more greedy than the other. Im going to have 3 in one enclosure.

Blue, do you just place the bug on your hand and hold it in front of him/her?

I would like to hand feed them so they get used to me but what do you recommend me doing? I can use plastic tweezers or...what do you think?

Thanks!

Me personally, I just use the gloves and hand it to her to eat. Any kind of tweezers, plastic, metal or wood I think might hurt them. They are nutty eaters and just will lunge. I don't let the bugs touch me lol I am a wuss, HATE crickets and there little legs hahaah. I just grab them with the gloves on and kind of bop her mouth with its head and boom GONE! I also put her in a small 10 gallon tank to feed her to make sure nothing else gets in her mouth except the food. That’s just me, to each there own

Thanks Blue, i might try that.
I was reading another forum and someone said that he/she pierced the insect with a pine needle and gave it to the frog.
Would that work?

That might work too, I can't pierce them, makes me feel bad enough they are getting eaten alive lol, if that might work for you,try it

Thanks Blue, i might try the pine needle then slowly move into feeding by hand so they are comfortable around me.
Thanks for everyones help!

Please, please, please get tongs. Never use tweezers and surely NEVER use anything with the word "needle" in it. Literally hand feeding them with your bare hand is not recommended either. Hand feeding in my book is using tongs.

And it's definitely possible that they become more sociable. However, it seems more times than not it won't happen. I have frogs that are truly not one bit scared of me and are very sociable.

On the other hand I have frogs I've had for years that are still frightened. It all depends on the frog I guess. As I do nothing to scare them (besides being much bigger than them), ever.

Hey big frog! Thanks for your advice!
Ive been told tongs are good but i have no idea what ones to use.
Could you...i dunno...post a pic of yours or find one on google for me? I would really appreciate it. Its just that im not sure what "tongs" are good to use.
