Pixie Frog not eating

[mafoo]

I guess I should have posted this sooner, here is a link of a previous thread I made a while back when he first stopped eating so much. Normally I tong feed him as he usually gets pretty turned off if he gets dirt in his mouth. While we are on the topic, do you have any suggestions for feeding crickets? I would like to try them with him now on tongs but I know from past experiences how hard he can grab onto the tongs if he wants to. Tonight he has been making allot of noise so I am hoping he is in a good mood to eat.

My female strongly prefers being tongfed (my other two males don't care). Grab the cricket by the end of their leg and dangle it in front of the frog. Slow up and down movements seem to work well with their coordination and incite a response. Because of how the tongs are used with the cricket I never have an issue with them biting the tongs.

Well, I managed to get a few crickets into him last night. Trying to avoid taking him out of his tank at all costs so I am hoping that it all passes by itself instead of me needing to give him a bath. What size of crickets do you normally feed these frogs? At 6.5" id say hes a bit big for the 3 week old crickets I feed my firebellies. He went for them okay but he would need quite a few to fill him up.

Yeah he would have to eat up to a hundred to even get close to satisfying him.
