do you believe in tong feeding?

[Herpin Man]

Sure I believe in it. That's how I feed most of my snakes, because with tongs, I can entice them to strike at dead prey.
However, frogs eat live, moving prey. I don't think that tongs are necessary in most cases, so I dump in the live prey and let the frogs find the prey themselves.

You didn't mention what you are feeding your PacMan frog. What are you feeding him/her ? PacMan frogs don't move, so they are not going to chase their prey. They are ambush predators. So they are going to wait for their prey to come near them and then they strike. I don't think tong feeding for a PacMan will work, but every frog is different.

I believe in it because:
#1- I know my pacman frogs are eating, and how much they are eating.
#2- They won't ingest any substrate.
I have 4 pacman frogs, and out of the 4 only 2 will eat off the tongs for me.

Pacman frogs can be pretty reckless when striking at prey. Tongs can alleviate the worry that they're ingesting something they aren't supposed to, so it's one less thing to stress over. Plus, if you put any supplements on the insects and let them wander the tank, the dust can get rubbed off pretty quickly and they might not be getting the necessary nutrition. There's plenty of ways to go about feeding, my friend feeds her's in a container outside of the tank because that's how he eats the best. Sometimes different ways are better depending on a frog's temperament and personality.

i feed night crawlers and hornworms mainly tried silkworms and wax worms but they didn't go over well. not allowed to feed crickets or roaches at least for now until i move

[hisk]

If you feed in a mostly empty tub like that, you can feed worms by putting the worm next to the frog and poking it with the tongs until it wiggles. The frog should take care of the rest. This has the added benefit of getting it used to the tongs. Some frogs take longer than others to acclimate, especially if they weren’t trained on the tongs as babies.
