Pedal luring Ceratophrys

I am looking to find anyone who regularly sees 'pedal luring' (or toe-wiggling) in Ceratophrys whilst feeding. I am keen on trying to film this behaviour, and would love some advice and information about the behaviour - including which preyt types stimulate the behaviour most.
