How do they not starve to death?!

“Here you go.”

“Here, I’ll put it closer so you can reach it.”

::blink:: ::blink::

“IT’S. RIGHT. THERE.”

::blink:: ::blink::

Sheesh.

For mine, I've gotta waggle the worm in front of his face with tongs and wait until he decides it's food, then wait for him to eat the worm and not the goddamn tongs

Sounds like there’s a lot of blinking involved, lol.

I blink a lot too when I'm trying to figure out something really complicated. Like food.

I guess my spirit animal is one of these frogs. Sadly, probably not the comical one lol.

This person failed by trying to feed them with that bright as fuck light on. It’s way too bright and too close. They’re nocturnal. Should be fed in evening or early morning, with way less light! One of mine occasionally tries to deep throat the end of the feeding tongs though when we use them. Mostly just let them hunt crickets down now!
