The headfirst trick is a must when first feeding inanimate foods, but after a while, I've found that my frogs will start waving their illiciums when they see me with the feeding stick and will take almost any food product waved in their face.
I do, however, have a 2-1/2" in pictus that refuses anything on a stick. I have a 1-1/2" pictus that even eats bits of Fun Feeders presented on a stick; these food bits don't even resemble fish
