    Default WTF correct care?

    I've read a bunch of care sheets but I have a couple of questions connected to the pictures I'm sharing.

    1.) Both frogs (Hermes & Icarus) were the same size when I first got them and one of them have gotten a lot bigger, I've seen both of them eat (dubia/mealworms) so I don't know if something is up, Is the smaller one not eating enough or is the big one eating too much?

    2.) I have them in an 18x18x18 exo terra, should I upgrade them to my empty 18x18x24 tank yet? or should I wait until they are larger and save the tank for something else?

    3.) Should I stop feeding them mealworms, Ive been switching weekly between mealworms and dubia. Does variety even matter? I would prefer not to deal with crickets but its an option.

    Thanks for your time.

    1) - try tweezer feeding them so you know how much they're getting. Everyone grows different remember, I'm sure this applies for frogs.

    2) - it's your call really, how old are your frogs?

    3) - Mealworms should never be used as a staple. For WTF, one a week will be more than enough. Mealworms are nutritionally incomplete and they have a lot of hard to digest chitin that will impact your frog if used as a staple. This could also be the cause of your frog not eating, how often has he been pooing?

    Thanks for the reply

    I make sure that they both eat and I watch the smaller frog eat as well, he doesn't seem skinnier...just smaller overall. I'll cut out the mealworms and go exclusively Dubias (I have some green banana roaches but they are harder to feed). I'm not sure on the age they were thumb tip sized when I got them a few months ago.
