Tong Feeding 102 - YouTube

Excellent video Jess!

[GrifTheGreat]

Great video again guys. That should really help members and inexperienced keepers tong feed their Pacs better and more easily.

[JIvoryII]

Thank you, thats what we are hoping. Now to figure out what the next vid will be...

[IvoryReptiles]

I'm thinking maybe a video on how to handle the frogs.........any suggestions?

Show us your rack system and all your frogs

Wow, just...wow. That was awesome, and I love at the end how you're like "They never cease to fascinate me--" and your breeder is sitting there with her tongue sticking out. Ffffff!

I'd love to see your set-up, where you keep all your frogs, etc. I just love seeing other people's houses, I guess--I'm a voyeur.

Oh, I was wondering if you breed your nightcrawlers or if you just buy them in mega-bulk, considering how many froggies you have.

Annnnnd I think that you and I have Cornuta from the same breeder. My little guy is a fattie, though. Yours look more proportionate!

Will appreciate if you can show us some tips and tricks on how to handle the frogs at various sizes.

I think handling tips would be a great video especially for frogs of all sizes.

Hi Jess and Jim, thank you for the awesome feeding videos and I, probably many others, would love to see your larger Cornuta feeding!

my little hybrid is very stubborn about tong feeding. he turns in complete circles to get away, runs away, pushes the worm away, etc. and absolutely will not bite at it. i don't want to stress him out too much so i only try a few times with breaks in between then drop some crickets (which he eats right away). should i withhold food to get him trained? i don't want to reinforce this behavior in him, but also don't want him to starve. the weird thing is, he ate a worm right off the bat his first night here and never ate one again....sigh anyway, the video gives great info, but just isn't working in my case. any ideas?

Maybe wait a day then sneak in while he's awake and drop a chunk of worm directly in his field of view. Most will snatch it up without thinking. Once he really likes worms he will take them from tongs, BUT not all frogs will feed from tongs. Some just down right dont like them.

Knowing my luck, he'll be one of those... can't wait to trick him though

this worked a few nights ago but he caught on. last night i offered a cricket with tongs and he very hesitantly and gently took it lol he took 3 more and some worm. thanks again.

Great video, I was able to tong feed both my Surinam horned frogs this morning with no fuss from them. I usually have to force feed them.
