Robin, I'm surprised that you were criticized (and not me!). I had tadpoles given to us without asking if I wanted them and I've been busy reading and asking the stupid questions and making mistakes along the way as well. Too bad we don't have a "dislike" button for posts....I'm with you on the live food, not thrilled about keeping crickets or fruit flies myself. But the froglets are pretty darn cute and my son (who is also autistic) is responding really well to them, so as long as it is a positive experience, I will do what is necessary.

Good luck and ignore the people who are rude in giving their advice.
