    Default Care for a baby gray tree frog?

    So I have a baby gray tree frog. I know how to take care of frogs, but I never dealt with youngins before. Is there any special care instructions I should know about? If anyone has an online care sheet they get extra cool boi points
    In all seriousness, thank you so much for your help.
    Edit: Just to make sure everyone knows this, he is not a tadpole. He is a land lubber like the rest of us.

    Awe baby frogs are the cutest lol. You’ll want to feed a lot and make sure he has vitamin supplements often. I have a baby toad currently and I feed 2-3 pinhead crickets a day and supplement every other day. I don’t have a care sheet sorry no cool boi points for me! How’s the lil guy doing?

    I would keep it in a planted vivarium, taking extra precautions to make it escape proof. Then I would feed it lots and lots of tiny prey- as much as it could eat.

    Hey sorry for the late reply back. I actually have 4 now lol, they are trying to escape the rising waters here and I was afraid that they would die on the hot concrete and not find a suitable place to go. They are all good, currently living on fruit flies ( lots of them) in a 10 gallon tall tank. I have a question and im wondering if you can answer it. What size tank should 4 of them be in? They are still very small but I don't want them to be stressed out by living in small conditions. At the same time, I don't want to make it too big to where they cant hunt their prey. So what would you recommend? Thanks so much friend, If you want pictures of them or anything let me know and ill totally do it!

    Could you send pictures so we can see how big these frogs are? I believe that everyone would be on the same page if they are baby frogs or if they were just young adult tree frogs. We could be a little bit more helpful to you.

    They can eat waxworms and small pinhead crickets. Get 1/2 inch banded crickets from Josh's Frogs.

    If it's a baby you want a critter keeper for sure. The smaller the space the better it can hunt. It would be best to just have a small amount of water at the bottom of the keeper and then get a fake plant the frog can climb out and dry off on. I recommend fruit flies for the first few months. Dump in a small amount and feed daily. Josh's Frogs fruit flies and Petco are best. You get at least a month or two out of Josh's Frogs and about 3 weeks out of Petcos.

    I recommend feeding them just before the lights turn off in their enclosure. They eat a variety of insects in the wild. In captivity, it’s not plausible to feed them such a wide variety. Stick to what’s easily available; crickets, mealworms, waxworms, hornworms, etc.
