Pacman frogs are too lazy to eat?

[MatisIsLoveMantisIsLyf]

So from my experience, and from videos i see on youtube, people go "big or go home" with pacman frogs, and i tried feeding my pacman crickets, he only ate one of them, and the other he ignored. Is it real that pacman frogs will only eat once thing in every meal even if its as small as a mealworm?.

Not true at all from my experience. But, the way they subdue their prey is by constricting their stomach muscles so you have to give them a small break between each prey item. If I'm feeding multiple prey items, like superworms, I'll grab them all at once with the tweezers so they all get ate at once. My girl is pretty large though so you may not be able to do that.

Senpai Ghost56, can i ask you something?
I Mainly feed him on roaches, with an occasion of crickets, and ill be moving on to superworms soon but can i feed them treats such as

raw shrimp (frozen,without shell or legs, just meat).
I Think they are wild-caught greek shrimps.?

chicken liver - heart. (my father is a butcher, one of the most famous, his products are high quality.)?

I haven't really fed mine anything but superworms and dubia, but as far as I know, they'll pretty much eat anything. Obviously there's certain things you wouldn't want to feed them, but I know chicken livers/hearts would be fine. I'm sure the shrimp would be fine too as I know a lot of people raise pacmans on crab meat, which I would think is similar.

I wouldn't overfeed vertebrate meats because of fatty liver concerns, but gut samples of wild ceratophrys show that mammals do form a notable part of the diet.

I just want to feed it as a treat every 2 weeks or so, to vary his diet
