Dusting/feces question about my pac.

[Lija]

sounds great! but then it is ornate lol to be expected and you don't need to tong train as it eating from them already.

try to hold tongs the way it doesn't bite tongs, kinda on a angle with tips away from his mouth, it is in theory, but i very rarely manage to do that with my girl lol usually it is flight for the food across the tank the second the doors are open if she is hungry.

Hahaha! that ninja flip was priceless. I try to hold them sideways with the tips away from his mouth and do the zombie dance. Sometimes he catches faster than others, sometimes he misses. But is it normal they eat different amounts per day?\

Also for future reference, when I feed a pinky in the future, do you normally feed the next day or wait a couple days?

when they're the size that can have pinky after feeding it i usually try wait for 5-6-7 days and always mouse is been followed up with nightcrawlers for at least 2-3 feedings. having said that i never actually buy a mouse to feed to a frogs, if they happen to get it, it is usually if i have defrosted leftovers after feeding my snakes, say once Ruby got 2 hoppers per feeding, but then she got dieting to do lol

A pinky doesn't take as long to digest as a fuzzy or hopper mouse. Pinky mice are not developed and don't have hard bones. Their muscle tissues are weak as well and not quite as dense so you don't have to wait as long before offering food again with a pinky mouse.

I'd say 2 days is long enough if climate is spot on. Night Crawlers act as a stool softener so the frog will have little to no risk of impaction from feeding after a 2 day wait. Now if it were a fuzzy or hopper(mice for adult frogs) you would wait like Lija recommended. 2.5" SVL is the correct length your frog should be before offering a pinky mouse.
