New foods?

[Teh Frog Whisperer]

For some reason, Peggy won't accept Dubia roaches when they're offered to her. She eats pretty much anything else that moves, though. I'm a bit confused-my other frogs love them, but if anything Peggy seems to think they're just a nuisance. I want her to get in the habit of eating Dubias because I've heard they're a way better feeder than crickets, and I've got a ton of them since I bought them at the reptile show last Sunday. How can I coax Peggy to try one without stressing her out?

Some frogs don't like them because of their very spiney legs. You can try sneaking in and dropping one about an inch from her face.

My frogs don't like dubias.

My Zuma wont eat them either. I can trick her into grabbing them but then she spits them out time and again so I don't get dubias anymore.

Yea Gerald hates them too. It seem's to take him ages to eat it, the things still alive when he spits it back out and then he moves backwards away from it. I tried them with my beardie but she hates them too, so I had to throw the box of roaches. ah well, I guess even pacmans can be fussy eaters too eh?!

She took a Dubia roach today! I'm so proud of her.
