    Default gray tree froglets not eating

    I raised some gray (or copes, not sure yet) from tad poles. they have been out of the water and tails are gone for 2-3d. None are eating yet (tried fruit flies and tiny blood worm pieces) they just aren't interested (the flies walk over their faces and they ignore the worms and flick them off their feet when they touch them). When should I get concerned? I know some froglets from some species may take days to a week before eating after the tail is absorbed, is this the case with these guys?

    I'd order some tiny crickets. And try that. Rainbow crickets is where I go. I learned to order them as local or closest option that you have. They'll probably eat those.

    My grey tree frogs were all eating within that time frame. I started with springtails and D. Mel fruit flies and started them with crickets about a week after that. All food should be no bigger than the space between their eyes. They probably will not bother with blood worms so I wouldn't even attempt it. Make sure they feel safe. Have some plants hanging in there for them to hide in and cover at least 3 sides of the tank. This was my baby greys favorite spot to hang out - https://smile.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-Lab...3&keywords=ivy
