Greatest cricket feeding trick ever!

[Kay]

Okay so I read in a post on here not to long ago about puting crickets in a glass bowl to feed frogs that they apparently cant get out. If anyone knows of this post please post link Thank-you!

Well I had forgotten about it till I was at Zehrs and saw a glass spice container for 4 dollars. maybe 3 inches indiameter and 2.5 to 3 inches high, opening slightly smaller than base.

Tonight I put it in the Terrarium and Frodo curiously stared at it. I grabbed a cricket and tossed it in and it just ran around in circled never jumped at all... I added a second... same thing. Moments later Frodo jumped onto the edge then into the bowl and ate the crickets. NO MESS, NO SUBTRATE IN HIS MOUTH, NO DIVING INTO WALLS AND WATER BOWLS NO GETTING COVERED IN SUBTRATE! It was great!

THANK-YOU ONCE AGAIN FROG FORUM

ITS A MUST TRY AND USE OPTION FOR CLEANER EASIER FEEDINGS!

Do you sit the glass container on top of the substrate, or do you have to bury it (with the top level with the stop of the substrate)?

I'm guessing that he buries it level with the substrate, otherwise the frog would have a harder time trying to figure it out. I got to try this method, although my pixie got a lot better at grabbing crickets running around in his terrarium.

Thank you. The breeder who sold me my monkey frog told me about this method, primarily as a way to avoid wasting crickets. I have tried it once but I guess my container was too shallow because the pinheads all crawled out within a few minutes! I will try again with a deeper container.

Oh absolutely i use large soup bowls when feed du bias cause the little buggers love to dig in the subs so i put them in the bowl with powder and in the tank it goes
