(I promise I don't give her red bull ) I will never complain about her feeding habits though because I love animals that want to eat!
    I use both types of tongs and I have a couple females that always manage to grab a hold of the tongs too. Its that strong sticky tongue they have. They always manage to pull themselves up onto the tongs Lol!

    I might get a pair of those. I've never seen them before, but I've never really searched either :P Having her 'pass out' with the tongs in her mouth kind of traumatized me, so I want to avoid having anything she could hurt herself on. I think she'd be calmer if whatever she bit didn't hurt.

    When I fed her last night, she ate three worms no problem. I couldn't get a good look inside her mouth, but I didn't see anything blatantly swollen or red, and under her mouth didn't look swollen either. I could tell she was a little uncomfortable but I think she's fine.

    You can try looking online if the stores by you don't have them. I ordered mine from Josh's Frogs.

    Keep a close eye on her. If there is no sign of swelling yet then it is a good sign. They are tough frogs though. They can survive a lot!

    After I fed her last night she decided she didn't like where I had the water dish, so she pushed it away from the wall and burrowed completely. I haven't dug her out yet to check, but she seems to be doing her normal grumpy stuff right now.

    I think she's good. I got her out this morning and felt up under her jaw. Didn't notice any swelling or anything, and she didn't flinch away so I'm guessing it wasn't hurting her.
