Won't Eat from Tongs

so I have two Whites Tree Frog's, but the new guy(KJ) won't eat from tongs. when I drop crickets in he's fine and chomps away in about a minute. i really want him to eat from tongs though because I don't like having crickets run around and I won't even try to catch them with all the foliage in my viv. i was able to just drop the crickets in before because he was on paper towels and a small enclosure for quarantine. should I just try to keep feeding him from tongs and if he gets hungry enough he'll eat from them?

Re: Won't Eat from Tongs

you can always feed in a bucket. Get a clean 5 gallon bucket, put the frog in and drop in the crickets. This is how I feed my guys. No bugs in the tank and I know how much they eat.
