A nice big cricket will sputter around on the surface like a motorboat for hours.
I'm surprised it is too spooky to take food from a straw. I bet it will eventually.

Just about every time I feed the minnows in my pond they are targeted by the bullfrogs. They seem to aim for the pellets and I've seen one frog come up with a minnow and spit out a pellet. Good times.
bullfrogs are voracious, I''m sure that if it will eat whatever it can once it gets hungry enough. Hunger tames all beasts. I had a toad once that started out always hiding, but it soon learned that I fed it and would take crickets out of my hand. I actually caught a bullfrog once on a spinner. I had casted the lure, retrieved it and as it came out of the water right infront of me and swung in the air a bullfrog that was chillin' at my feet jumped out and grapped the lure. Got all three hooks set full, two in the top jaw and one in the bottom. He died during "surgery"...

Ha! Reminds me of last weekend, when I nearly caught a tern on a mudminnow while kayking. Tern was hovering 2 feet from my face while I fussed with the line and the minnow was next to the boat in the water. You should have seen me waving my arms shouting "shoo, shoo!"I actually caught a bullfrog once on a spinner. I had casted the lure, retrieved it and as it came out of the water right infront of me and swung in the air a bullfrog that was chillin' at my feet jumped out and grapped the lure.

I once kept a baby snapping turtle so my girls could watch it. Feisty little fellow. It loved earthworms. Released it that fall so it could hibernate, or do whatever snappers do during the winter.
