Using tweezers/forcepts/tongs?

[MichFrog]

This has probs been discussed before and if anyone remembers, could they paste it here? I was wondering if anyone uses tongs to feed their frogs? I am worried they are not eating enough at the minute but at the same time i can only imagine those tong/tweezer things would hurt their mouths.
I could put them in a separate container but they wont eat when i watch anymore, even though they used to.......weird!

I have only fed them crickets, should i vary their diet a bit, get them more interested?

This is the thread to which you are referring: http://www.frogforum.net/pacman-frog...s-feeding.html

I always feed my frogs with a forceps and usually I don't use a rubber-tipped one. I've done it for 10 years now and never had a problem.

Varied diet is always best - crickets are a flawed food in that they aren't very nutritionally valuable and are low in easily absorbed calcium.

Thanks, thats a great help. Good to know that rubber ones are not required then as I havent seen any in my local pet shops. Il get right on changing their diet about a bit then, thanks again.
