hellooo everyone

i got 2 baby red eyes this is my second day with them i was thinking they was going to be around 1and half inches but they are babys and are really small i was just wondering if any one has some tips for feeding them as they haven't eaten yet.

my tank is at 24.7c and humidity 85

sorry if i posted this in the wrong thread

i don't have red eyes myself, but sometimes frogs can take some time to get comfortable enough after a move or stressful event to eat =)

Hello,

True. But it doesn't need to not be a constant 85% either
Just make sure you have good ventilation as well as a nice humidity level.

for clarification - sustained and constant (same definitions)

I just recently acquired some of these beauties too, they don't eat as much as you'd like to think! Both of my frogs went about 3 days without eating, then suddenly three crickets were missing from the feeding bowl. Just watch for poop to make sure they're eating something. Usually it's in the water; whether you have a section for standing water or a tupperware container.

As I'm a newbie as well, I don't want to act all "big and bad." This is just what I've noticed so far. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me!

I know. I said it doesn't not need to be, saying that it's not wrong to keep a constant 85%, as long as there is ventilation. Double negatives you know

Jammin,
Keep the paper towed nice and damp( w/ de-chlorinated water)
I'm sure you know to provide a very shallow soaking dish w/ the same ( clean it daily )
