Pac Man Biting Tongs

grantguy Sep 09, 2004 07:31 PM

Hey,
I've been feeding Phillip live breeding fish (mollies) for awhile now. The last two times he accidentally hit the tongs instead of the fish. While I didn't jerk him around, I pulled the tongs back slowly and let him hang for a few seconds so he would realize that was wrong. After that he hit the fish. He seemed fine, I just wanted to make sure this doesn't injure the frog, tramautize him or any experiences all of you have had with frogs hitting hands or tongs instead of the food? Thanks.

Happens all the time. Between the biting, and the sticky tongue, it takes a few seconds for them to let go.
I only feed by tongs. Now I'm trying to do the same with my Pixie frog. But the frog has other ideas
