Hey , Pcfs are beautiful little things, but sadly, they are illegal to own as pets in A LOT of the west coast. Granted i cant see the cops breaking your door down for a spring peeper, its just a piece of information i thought you might like to know. Now on a more positive note, gutloaded crickets are PCFs favorite and they are so much more abundant and cheap than soldierfly grub. however, if you have the funds and a pet store with a constant supply, get them used to the grubs little by little. start with just crickets, its a comfortable food for them. tong feed them at first. after u feed a few times with crickets on the tongs and they are used to it, do a cricket, and a soldierfly grub. eventually you should be able to drop nearly anything that moves in front of them and they will eat it, even your fingers if they are hungry. I suggest feeding ONLY insects. i know some people believe that because their frog can eat a pinky mouse, that it should. way wrong. i forget what it is called but it can make their intestines come out. try flightless fruitflies, HEADLESS mealworms, and even chunks of store bought nightcrawlers. use the night crawlers only every once in a while to act as a digestive aid and for a little extra nutrition. overall pcfs can be very easy to raise, breed, and come across. so the reason its against the law to own them is somethig i just will never know. Always remember, they have extremely fragile bones that can be broken very easily. if you try to move them to clean the vivarium, use a fish net or "frog scooper" to move them to prenevnt pinching their fragile legs. good luck and have fun!
