I have tried feeding my pacman frog mealworms and silkworms.I can't get him to eat any kind of worm.He will only eat crickets.Got any ideas on how I could get him to start eating some every once in a while?

thanks for any help

Try getting the frog used to feeding from tongs. Once they are used to feeding from tongs, they will start to recognize the tongs as a utensil for when they are fed. Thus, if you hold up a worm, they recognize it is feeding time and will take the worm from the tongs. I could get some of my frogs to eat batteries with my this method (though I would never do such).

If he doesn't take them try the next day. He will get hungry soon enough. He won't starve..
