Severely annoying my Pacman

[Maharg]

Im trying to incorporate Pacman food into my frogs feeding regime. Ive tried many techniques that work very well to get them to take it, such as wrapping the Pacman food into a ball around nightcrawlers. They strike at the nightcrawlers and subsequently have to eat the Pacman food as well. Problem is, if they dont strike quick enough the crawler manages to squirm out of the food.
So my question is, should I just try to rub the food in the frogs face until they strike from annoyance? I dont want the frogs feeding time to be associated with severe irritation. Should I just forget about trying Pacman food?

Id say to just rub it along his/her lips till they take it, i had to do it and sometimes still do to my pac-man and my little guy is fussy i'm pretty sure he/she will get curious soon or later and snatch it up.

Tim is right. Just rub the food against the frog's mouth. After a while of annoying the frog to get it to strike it will make the connection that its food and usually take it with out having to be annoyed.

Maybe roll the food out to look more like a chunk of worm?if that's possible that is, but I've never used the stuff so Idk if it would hold that kinda shape

No that doesn't usually work. Smell gives it away and they do have good eyesight.

I was about to ask how did it go

actually looking a ball look like a worm worked well for me at the beginning, for some reason round ball was freaking my ornate out, now she doesn't care anymore as long as it's keep coming :lol: Graham skip a feeding or two so they're really hungry and then offer. try to annoy as well as you were suggested.

Do you tong-feed them? I remember getting a frog accustomed to prekilled food by using tongs to feed it live prey. By the time I started using the prekilled food, it already knew whatever the tongs were holding was food.

yes, that is exactly a way to go, once they know "tongs=food" they don't care what that is.
