Ya the tong feeding can be challenging, but by the looks of the second video he will come around. My guy now was very timid of the tongs when he was a baby, took about 3 weeks to get him to take a whole meal by tongs. Were as my female I use to have ate from the tongs from day one. A couple little tricks if you don't know them already is to rub the food or let it touch the the underside of his bottom lip and this usually gets a reaction. Or I know it may sound weird but I found if I touched my guys front foot with the worm/cricket he would snap at it. The actual way I got him to take food from the tongs is I would rip the back legs off the cricket then lower it in with the tongs so he could see the cricket and the tongs, I would bring the tongs right down to the substrate and point the cricket in his direction and then it go so it ran towards him and he would snatch it up every time. I started lets say 4 inches away and slowly released it closer to him each night till he finally started not waiting for me to release them and would just grab it from the tongs.

Yes, it will be a real challenge the tong feeding : but at least, it has appetite







On the third picture, the width and shape of the head make me think it is a female.

Evolution :











she has changed and seems definitely to be a female ornata

She is fed every other day with crickets, red runner roaches and earthworms, in adddition with calcium and sometimes vitamin D3.

Hi, if your frog is just a baby I would recommend feeding every night for the first couple months because he will need the food because these grow extremely fast. He will eat every night for you to, you might get the odd the night he may not want to but the majority of the time I bet he will eat. For the Vitamins I use to do Monday and Friday calcium&d3 and Wednesday multivitamin. Tues, thur, Saturday and sunday he got fed but no vitamins. I got the schedule from a thread posted by a moderator named Mentat and I can honestly say my Pacman frog is healthy as can be.

Concerning the frequency, 3 to 5 feedings per week are sufficient, even for a young.

Please don't think I was saying you were under feeding because if that's how it seems I wasn't. I was just letting you know that if you did want to up the feedings that he would eat the food being given. I thought I would share the info because again this is what i followed and my guy/girl has grown at a rapid rate and is very healthy and thought i would share it with you. Sorry if you took it the wrong way because again that wasn't my intention for it to come off that way.

No no, I didn't take it in bad way at all
But, I discussed with an exotic vet in Paris, with the boss of the most famous pet store for reptiles and amphibians in Paris (who is a well known worlwide reptiles and amphibians specialist), they told me that one feeding per day is too much for a young pacman especially of you fullfill the "15mns rule" (Except for a little baby).
Mne is not a little bay, she is already 5cms long...She is an advanced juvenile I should say.

Concerning vitamin D3, I agree with you. I will increase a little bit the weekly quantity.
