    Default How many crickets?

    Hi everyone,
    Just wondering? ( this is a question I keep forgetting to post)
    A question for those of us who have Red Eye Tree frogs:
    How many crickets do your frog (s) eat.

    Mine eat more than what I read about - as compared to the typical/ published recommendations -they leave nothing!

    Mine eat anywhere from 2-4. I put a bunch in there tank every 2nd or 3rd night, the leftover crickets stay in the tank and they feed on them whenever.. I do this because my female red eye seems kind of lazy where she sometimes sleeps two nights in a row and will wake on the third, eat a couple crickets maybe wander for a bit and soak, then she goes back to sleep.. I'm guessing she wakes later at 5 or 6am because she will usually wake when my male makes noise.. And he usually wakes back up around that time too

    Hi,
    I am putting in 12-14 / night for 6 frogs. Two of my 'charges' are reaching nearly 3 inches.
    I am feeding daily because I still have 2 that are on the smaller size and don't want any to compete for their food.
    Plus I dust on separate nights - alternating calcium, vitamins, nothing. 3/2/2
    ie Last night it was 12- there is one cricket left, one dead, and one Red Eye hunting for a morning nibble !

    Hummmm ?
