    Can anyone give me advice on getting him used to human interaction and some ideas on how i can feed him more efficiently and minimize stress for my frog.
    If you want to minimise stress, best bet is to stop handling him and moving him from one enclosure to another, frogs really just need to be left alone. Being in a cage with a larger frog could also be causing stress, you may need to separate them depending on how big the size difference is. I've never really understood why people think they need to hand feed their frogs?
