    Default Re: Green tiny frogs

    I took pictures but they are so small I had to zoom in so much that they are very blurry. Iwill try again tonight. I found another one today in my kitchen. The kids at school are loving them. I placed a small bowl of water, tree branch and a fly that we found today inside the container. What can I feed them and where do I get the food, PETCO? Is there food like fish food? As you can tell I do not know anything about raising tree frogs, should I release them? The kids are starting to name them so it is going to be hard to set them free. I'll probably get more tonight. I'll keep posting. Thanks for the response

    The rule of thumb for feeding any frog is to feed noting bigger than the space in between its eyes.
    If these guys are smaller than 1/2 in from snout to vent (anus) then pinhead crickets are a good choice.
    and flightless fruit flies. Both can be available at your local pet store but the big box ones like petco might not carry them.
    So call ahead.

    Since I am guessing that these little ones are a tree frog of some type they like hight so having a tall terrarium for them is better.
    but if you are only keeping them for a little while then a 10 gallon tank is ok.
    But if you feed Flightless fruit flies they will get out unless you cover the top with a very fine mesh.
    So pinhead crickets are a good choice and keeping them in a small glass bowl is better so they wont free roam the tank and hide behind stuff.
    and possibly bite your frogs.

    Good luck and welcome to the forum.
