Adopting a Blind Pacman

[LilyPad]

This brings up a question for me that I've never thought to ask before... Can frogs smell??

I have a cat who has been blind since he was a kitten, and finds his food no problem by smell and memory. I don't think that would be as easy for a frog. I do think the tong feeding idea is spot on though, once he realizes you're giving him/her food, it will have no problem eating.

Congrats on your new baby and good for you taking on a special needs pet

I've read that frogs actually have a good sense of smell but as DVirginiana said, frogs rely on movement to eat.
It's comparable to the black tailed prairiedog I've owned, prairiedogs have the risk of a nose tumor, once they get this tumor, it makes them get the sensation of suffocating. Eventhough they can breath to their mouths, they aren't wired to do so.
So, even with a great sense of smell, I doubt our frogs use it to hunt.

I have actually done an experiment with my pet Anaxyrus Americanus where I put her into a mouse maze, and placed a worm in different areas to test her senses. One time, I placed the worm right next to her, but behind a wall. Instead of running the maze she tried to force herself into the wall that was blocking the worm. Thus maybe implying they do have a sense of smell.

Mine definitely reacts differently to fish than worms. With the worms it usually takes a bit for her to perk up and realize there's food around, but when I have fish anywhere in the room she's immediately on a hair trigger.
