So i took my whites tree frog to the vet and he told me to feed him an all pinkie diet does he know what hes talking about
Dusted crickets should be the main staple for your frogs diet. The pinkie should only be a very very rare treat. I'm not sure why he would say to feed him pinkies. Maybe he's never really treated frogs before. There's a lot of misinformation out there when it comes to frogs. Your frog looks fat enough and pinkies would be like giving a kid candy.
I agree with Cheri-for a species of frogs that can get obese very easily, I am rather surprised your vet would suggest such a diet. Stick with crickets, roaches and earthworms and your frog will love the variety!!
I agree with the two smart women who posted before me. Suggesting an all-pinkie diet is weird. I never feed mine pinkies, and I know they could go their whole lives without one and be completely satisfied. Variety is good, so every once in a while, throw in a mealworm, waxworm, earthworm.
I think an important question to ask would be- Was there any particular reason the vet told you to give your frog this diet? Or Did he suggest that this is the normal diet for a White's tree frog?
Just to rule out some possibilities.
