    I didn't realize he was already used to tong feeding. You're lucky! Took me forever to get mine tong-trained.

    Depends on the frog and what they're used to. If they've grown up hunting their own food in the tank or if they're especially nervous it can sometimes take awhile. My parents had mine for almost a year when they changed policies in my university housing, so I didn't get to start working on tong feeding her till she was over a year old.

    FYI - My frog didn't eat for almost two weeks from when I first got him if I remember correctly. He stresses out pretty easily though, and usually doesn't eat for 3-4 days after I clean his cage. After his hunger strike he almost always makes up for it, usually acting pretty ravenous and wanting twice as much as he normally eats.

    Ha ha I use tongs but to drop them in front of frog (it helps if you put crix in fridge for 20 mins to slow em down) but they mostly get ate before hitting floor or just after !

    for some frogs you can do whatever you want, try as many ways as you can, they would never eat from tongs, stubborn little dudes
