    Default Pin head crickets

    Ok don't think there anything I can do about this but I'm bowl feeding pin heads to my retf and they seem to be able to climb the sides .
    It's a glass bowl with flat bottom an 90 degree sides .
    Not all but some get out .
    Any tricks to keep them put ?

    CA/D3 and vitamin dusting will eventually coat the smooth glass walls allowing crickets to climb them. You should wash and dry bowl between feedings to prevent that .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    They really should be eating small crickets

    As described by Carlos, keep the bowl really clean-
    wipe the sides down with slightly damped paper towels/and dry

    Pull the bowl every day /clean with really hot tap water/dry and feed the frogs every day
    with fresh crickets that have been feeding in the cricket bin

    ( replace new crickets daily for juvenile red eye tree frogs )
