Are your frogs fussy eaters?

It's quite amusing, my White's will eat locusts/grasshoppers/worms/waxworms for days if I allow them to, but they turn their backs on all types of crickets. Literally, they don't even care, even when it's a feeding day they don't bother with them, but then I put some other food in there and they're all over it.

My pacmans unfortunately are very fussy eaters. due to Sams size she will ignore crickets , worms any thing small. Dean has lately found a dislike for crickets as well but he occasionally eats them he is the smaller male.I did not let sam have a mouse for a whole month and she just sat there ignoring anything in the tank including dean( she would not eat him). they did however hang out together side by side or offset in the substrate . so i feed my mice cheese.greens , carrots, lettuce . crackers, sunflower seeds ( the sunflower seeds have 1 percent vitamin A, 10 percent calcium,41 percent iron,95 percent vitamin b-6,3 percent vitamin c, and 113 percent magnesium which is excellent for frog skeletal muscle) , and cereal 2 times a day and add pedialyte to their water bowls and water bottles .I put a juvenile mouse in and wham Dean got right out of the substrate and ate it after it walked all over Sams spot and she simply ignored it. Then i put in a full grown mouse and wham Sam came right out and ate it .After that they got all nice and comfy in their prospective spots and settled down for a warm rest over their uth. Sam considers anything small unworthy ( she will eat a large green frog or leopard frog but i try not to feed her those because i don't want her to get used to frogs n eat Dean)and she simply will not eat it . Dean will eat smaller things only if hes extremely hungry and i do not like to starve my frogs .So i make sure the mice have wheels to run on so they do not get too fat .The only fat mice i have are my breeders which are not on my frogs menus. so yes i know all about picky eaters and it does cost me quite a lot to feed my mice so they have a nutritional value to my frogs.
I would not feed my frogs a mouse that was eating dog food, cat food or any of the prepackaged stuff you see at pet stores this would lead to fatty mice causing ( not at all good for your frog) blindness , obesity, osteoporosis,scurvy or vitamin d deficiency. So if you do end up with inheriting a picky eater like my frogs make sure you properly gut-load your mice.I cannot stress the importance of this , as a general rule most do not even feed their frogs mice as they can be very bad if not fully and properly gut-loaded. also feeding them mice will make them very picky eaters .If you could see my mice tanks you'd see many climbing spots and spinning wheels they are healthy and on the leaner side .

Maybe the other bugs taste better to them . What do you use to gut load the crickets?

They've never even tasted them to know what they taste like ^_^ they just ignore them until I put something else in front of them and they're perfectly happy to eat that.
