I give up!!!

mine cranwelli is very stubborn too, he'd eat mice, but he is getting only once in a month or 2, nigthcrawlers and crickets are his staple and you need to dance around big time before he eats it. now I have a system in place, when he eats his first nightcrawler and almost done I'm taking another one from both ends and when he opens month to take another bite of a worm I'm putting middle of a new one in his mouth pulling ends back. hope my explanation makes sense but this way at least i don;t need to dance around with each worm separately :lol: oh those frogs

Like has already been suggested, try roaches. Mine would only eat crickets when I first got her and nothing else, but the roaches were similar enough that she'd take them. Even after that I had to trick her into trying nightcrawlers when I wanted to switch her over.

Good luck with that. I've never had anything that will touch wigglers. I think the smell of that goo they secrete just puts most things off.

My new pacman is a stubborn feeder too, all he wants is crickets. That is what he is used to and recognizes as food. Tonight after starving him for two days, I tried nightcrawlers again. No go. So I broke down and put some crickets in there. Then I got a idea. When he would strike at a cricket, I held the nightcrawler in tongs in front. Yes! He ate it. After a few times of that, he realized that those slimy things were food too and would take them on his own! Ate about 1/2 a crawler tonight. (oh I also feed in a separate container. That way he doesn't accidentaly eat some cocofiber)

Yep, I did the same with my former cranwelli
