Froglet not eating

[Tori Savage]

ok guys, i have a american green tree frog, froglet very much. its very tiny, barely 1/2 in long. i offered some very small crickets, but its a no go. ive had froglets before, and took them a while to eat, after they lost their tail. but from what it looks, his tail has been gone for a bit now. here in louisiana we went through a cool spell thanks to tropical storm lee. i found him outside and i touched him bc i thought he was dead. he was so cold he didnt move. i brought him inside, put him in a critter keeper, and offered him some crickets. well, this was like 2 to 3 days ago, and the crickets are still there. what else can i offer this guy? a woman at the pet/feed store told me to offer freeze dried blood worms. i think hes too little for that. can someone please offer advice?

Ignore the woman at the pet store - she obviously hasn't a clue. I would hazard a guess that the crickets are too big for the frog. Have you tried flightless fruit flies yet? That's what I recommend for raising froglets.

Petco carries flightless fruit flies as does many online dealers. Put in a small piece of banana and drop in some fruit flies. The flies will be attracted t the banana and give the little one a place for easy pickings.

John & Don, thanks. I was guessing the same thing. Ive NEVER seen AMGTF eat worms! LOL and no, I havent tried the flightless fruit flies yet....... I know that I have these little annoying flies, they are really small, that WONT go away what so ever. Don't know what kind of flies these are, but they are more annoying than anything else i can imagine! I have some bananas that my kids forgot about. Would it harm the flies or frog if the banana is starting to go bad? Like the peeling is black spotted n such and the banana itself is really soft. Once again, thanks guys!

John, by the way, in my introduction post, I finally posted pics of my froggies! Dont know if ya seen 'em yet though!
