    Its less sanitary that way and the frog sometimes becomes more intimidated by youre hand in its face. It may be less likely to accept them from your hand. Youcould try dropping them so that they land 1" to 1.5" away from the frog in striking distance and most of the time they'll strike without thinking.

    I've been bleeding more than once from a frog bite and I tong feed for the frog's benefit not my own. Has nothing to do with a tough guy contest lol!

    I am also pleased to announce that Peggy is now accepting nightcrawlers. In fact, this one didn't even have time to hit the water!

    So true. I don't care how tough you are, if you aren't looking for it, you WILL jump when a frog suddenly goes from zero to sixty and latches onto your hand.
