Gray Tree Frogs - ok to feed fruitflies only?

[hjoe1112]

Have my GTF that are about 5 months old now - they've only been living off of fruitflies that I have gotten pretty good at culturing. I dust everyday alternating with calcium powder and vitamin powder. We don't have access to pinhead or small crickets around here - our local petstore only has 1/2 in to 1 inch crickets. I occasionally find moths flying around so I give these to them sometimes.

Is it ok to just continue feeding them with fruitflies?

sorry I put GTF and Green Tree Frog popped up - I have Gray Tree Frogs. Thanks!

As long as your doing the calcium you should be fine but eventually you will want to get them into wingless crickets. I would look at some of the retailers online or ask your pet store (small business type) to order you a 500 count box of 1/4 inch. Local pet shops get me a 500 count box for about 16 dollars.

Thanks Don. How fast do they grow? Say from 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
