tong feeding

Once again how long did it take you to get your frog to eat from tongs?Mine flips out when I mist it with water let alone stick 10 inch metal tongs into the cage.None of my frogs ever took food from my hands or tongs.Any ways to get them to?

thanks

Just keep trying...eventually they will take it...try not feeding for a few days. Hunger is an excellent motivator.
Make sure the prety item is large enough for them to see.
And a word of caution...nix the hand feeding.
You'll pay dearly for it.
