Need help feeding Dubia to frogs

[yoshimi]

I tried so many bowls, even before I started on dubia. anything with a smooth side and a solid color will work. of course, shallow enough for frogs to be able to peer in, and if they get it, get out again. Half burying in substrate allows frogs to see in and get at them without jumping right in (which mine does anyway, but then they sometimes crawl on him and I have to brush them off). What I found was a salsa bowl hanging in an aisle in a grocery store. it has tapered sides, and the roaches run around at the bottom, some climb up higher, but can't quite get to the top and out of the bowl. (i feed baby nymphs, if you're feeding big roaches, i'd imagine any frog would notice.) I used to place my toad by the rim and wait, then he'd spot them and lean and and get his grub on. or roach on, whatever. they always seem pretty active in bowl, except after he's done eating when there are only one or two left, some dirt he brought in with him, and if i put an orange cube in there for snacking, that too. Then the roaches feel secure and kinda hide.

Be patient, try different bowls, maybe keep them all in the same place everytime you try, cuz mine knows now where the food usually is. eventually you'll find something that works. dubias are awesome.

Mine looks a little like this except it's green, and maybe a little more shallow. This is a random site that happens to be out of them, but you get the idea. http://www.acemart.com/dining-room/d...292909012.html
