A feeding method for the squeamish. (my wife)

[UncleChester]

Why just not have her shake the crickets from the tube directly into the frogs enclosure and do the feeding free range? No need to handle the frog then. Or shake them out into a glass bowl inside the enclosure if you don't want crickets roaming the enclosure, see http://www.frogforum.net/vivarium-te...owl-trick.html

What kind of frogs do you have and is your wife willing to tweezer slow moving bugs like earthworms?

[Louis Charles Bruckner]

Alas my current setup is a 90% water substrate so a glass bowl feeder is not very feasible.
And dumping a tube full of crickets would only result in the majority of them drowning or escaping.


Also My wife will not use the tongs at all.
It will be all she can do to put the frog into the feeding box.
Hopefully over time she will get use to it.

That sounds like it might just work.

Give your wife some time and she might just get used to handling the crickets. I hate bugs of all kinds and after 6 months of having frogs I'm like "oh look there's a cricket on the ceiling" and go back to doing what I was doing. Especially if she wears gloves when she deals with the crickets she should get used to them in no time.
