I have fed my frog by just puting them in tank but now I have to hand feed them so they don't drowened in the water so how do I hand feed u use tongs but they will not eat the cricket and they are starting to look really thin
Can you describe exactly the reason for why they the food can no longer roam free? The water should not be too deep.
Fire bellies are not usually ones to enjoy hand feeding and if they didnt take food from the tongs they certainly won't take anything from your hand.

Mine are very willing hand feeders, but I can't say it's ever something i set out to do. If your FBT can't be free fed, and is being stressed by the tongs, then I would suggest gently getting the toad into a tub with some crickets in, cover it up with a cloth or something so it is dark and leave the FBT to it for a good while. If you have a large tank there is no reason you can't leave it sitting in there. I found this was one of the only ways one of mine would eat when I first got it.
