This is how I got mine to get to taking food from tongs. He was real tiny when I got him, about the size of a quarter, and wouldnt take anything from the tongs; however, i kept presenting his food to him with the tongs and now that hes nearly trippled in size, perhaps size has something to do with comfort/less fear, he snatches the food from the tongs nearly every time in less than 5 seconds. Sometimes i still have to drop the food in front of him for him to get it, but hes kinda got the idea - tongs = food.
