Hi all,

A quick question here about feeder bowls. I know a lot of people use these and I want to try them for my callidryas, but have been running into problems. Firstly, I tried a deep, glass bowl (as I have seen here). However, the frogs don't 'see' the glass and try to attack through it. Then I moved to a deep, opaque bowl. The frogs don't see the crickets and don't feed. Then I tried a shallower, opaque bowl. The crickets then escape by making a living pyramid and pulling themselves out, or jumping. A final problem, I have is that, when using these dishes, the frogs do come down to feed on the crickets that haven't yet escaped, but one frog hogs the bowl and doesn't allow the others to feed. For each of the 6 tanks, there is one frog that does this.

Has anyone got any tips for either a good model of bowl or a way of teaching frogs to climb into the glass bowl, rather than trying to eat through it?

Cheers
