    She has no big flaps by her ears like other WTFs.

    She is about eight months old and I feed her about 3 freeze dried crickets a day also, she has been shedding constantly.

    Is she okay?

    She looks perfectly healthy in the photo. Do you provide calcium supplements to the crickets a few times a week?

    Hi,
    I do not have WTF.
    But, I hope you don't mind my asking?
    Question : "freeze dried" crickets ? How do you get her to eat them?
    Does she swallow them ---- still cold?

    I would give her live crickets and use a calcium powder supplement. Freeze dried anything prolly has too many chemical stuff in my opinion. Other than that she looks good to me. Really cute actually

    Thanks, but I can't give her live crickets because my parents hate them and it was very expensive.[

    Not to bust your chops...because i dont know your situation or anything....but please dont get an animal that you can not properly take care of (not being able to feed it correctly)

    i dont want to sound mean in any way and im sure no matter how i word it, it will come across as rude. BUT this is a living animal were talking about here. there is nothing wrong with crickets and they are far from expensive. small ones dont make any noise. when kept in a cricket keeper with some cricket food/water so they dont all die, it doesnt stink too bad. the only time mine really stunk is when a ton of them died at once. now that i got the proper food, it doesnt stink. also there are other bugs you can feed your frog. and like lynn said, how do you get you frog to eat dead food? force feed? or dangle it with tweezers? also the food i feed my crickets adds nutrients and stuff. but i highly doubt its as effective is adding calcium powder. honestly, since calcium powder goes bad after about 6 months and i just bought a new container, i can send you some of mine if you need any. i wont use it all and shipping wont cost that much. but shipping will probably cost as much as a brand new one from the store will cost so go getcha some.

    You dont want huge flaps of skin over the ears that actually means the frogs is overweight. your frog looks fine.calcium and crickets arent that much a month a container of that will do you for a long time and crickets if kept well last for over a month i order them off the internet. I use tetrafauna aqua safe small bottle from a pet store for reps and amphibians and i treat 1 gallon of tap water you add 8-10drops, i use it for frogs water bowl. That might help shedding if you werent treating your water.
