How to feed your baby pac large cickets

Where did you get the ornate? I have been searching every where for one. I know of five websites that sell them, but i'm not so sure that UPS can get them to my house safely. For God's sake, they can't even get my new skate shoes to me without crushing the box every time! Plus it costs $40 to $50 to have a frog shipped! If there are any well known pet shops that have them or can order them please let me know.

You can put the crickets in the fridge before feeding them, if your pac has a hard time catching them. That slows them down.

you mean, the crickets are cold... but still alive? or do they have to be dead before feeding them using this method?

would a cold prey have any negative effect in their stomachs?

thanks.

They are still alive. They can look dead if you have them in too long but once out in roomtemperature they slowly start moving again. But they are much easier to catch.

I doubt fridgetemperature would be bad for the frog. At least in Sweden, the temps in the fridege is something like +8 degres celsius.

Used to feed my Firebellies this way.

My bay albino has no trouble catching large crickets. It has problems with the cricket using its powerful back legs to kick and escape when my frog tries to choke it the rest of the way down. Removing these legs has solved that problem. Kind of the reason for this whole thing.

just wondering... do you just pluck them kickers off the cricket or you cut them of using scissors?
