    Default 2 Baby red eyed tree frogs in 15gal ok?

    I know these tree frogs need alot of room (5-10gal per frog). I find it odd but what ever makes the little guys happy. Does anyone know how well they are able to hunt at this size? I'm concerned the terrerium I built will make it too difficult for them to find crickets/worms. Any suggestions? I was thinking of trying a small tube that I know crickets cant jump or climb out of but would let the RETFs climb in and out to feed? Questions on that should be can these frogs over eat? If this works should I put one in for each?

    I use a glass bowl to feed my RETF. Smooth surface of the glass makes it hard for a cricket to catch traction to jump or crawl out. You can also monitor their feeding habits using this method. I highly recommend this.

    Add a feeding bowl made out of glass and it'll solve your problem with the feeding. The crickets can't get out, the frogs will very soon learn where the food is, and you can easily monitor how much they eat. You can even add two bowls, if one frog is hogging all the food. A 15 gallon is ok for 2 froglets, but I personally would upgrade when they get to adulthood and larger.
    Red eyes rarely overfeed, as the seem to regulate their food intake (unlike White's).

    Good luck!

    EDIT: Got ninjad, hard...

    Hi MugPro,
    I agree w/ ViperJR. It is fine for now.
    As Martin has mentioned, monitoring their feeding is very important.
    Feed them well!!! Make it easy for them to find their food !
