Tong Feeding 101... new tiny Froglets

[GrifTheGreat]

I was hoping you could answer some tong-related and feeding questions for me here!

So you dust the worms about twice a week...do you only feed worms to your froglets as well as your adults? I know that variety is good, so I was just curious.

I've been having a problem with an over-zealous adult who likes to lunge and grab his worm bits from the tongs, and he sometimes gets the tong with it. Usually it's quick, but yesterday he actually got it in his mouth HARD and wouldn't let go. Do you just wait for him to let go, or is there something you can do to get him to let go? I'm afraid of him biting it too hard and hurting himself.

If the frog is an adult there is no need to just feed worm pieces. Feed whole worms and it will be less likely to bite the tongs. Now it will still happen occasionally so when it does just gently wiggle them out of the frogs mouth. With a frog that bites the tongs often you're going to want to buy rubber tipped tongs so the frog doesn't harm its jaws.
