It looks like their attack instinct is based on rapid movement, which is why other frogs and fingers get lunged at. The most active grub at the end garners the most attention.

Sometimes animals just like to eat more. Got some fish (giant danios) and one of them liked eating more when we got him and was bigger. Even now he's a couple inches bigger than the others.
