Feeding

[Poliwag]

My frog here apparently is a very picky eater, he appears to only like things that move, (not as slow as worms) which ive run out of atm. I've been trying to get him to eat that and some pacman zoomed food. Is there any way to make it easier to make him switch thinking tongs as a " food is here" thought run through him to just attack anything in them? Also how often would any of you suggest i feed him?

Get him well trained with tongs so that whenever he sees tongs he incorporates them with dinner time.

He wont even eat crickets from the tongs unless I let them roam around for a second, that's the only time he goes after it.

Have you checked out ivory reptiles tong feeding 101 video on youtube? It was very helpful for me.

Yes, I have; but he's stubborn! D:

Lol I understand that. Try squishing a crickets head, and placing it infront of the frog with tongs but keep the tongs next to the cricket. See if he will take them that way and keep moving the tongs a little closer every time.

What about how often I should feed for it's size? Also, I noticed it's pretty round; do you think it's a girl?

[danfrog]

Every night. Wont be able to tell the sex till its older. They will get nuptial pads when they get older if they are male.

Apparently, It just ate it's first worm.. I had to drag it along the substrate a bit, which I didn't want to do cause it grabs the ecoearth. Whatever floats his boat; lol.
