Cricket watching!! *pics*

[spooky]

This keeps my frogs amused for hours, literally! One in particular (Fatty, the green one) was perched on a vine for most of the day watching the crickets through the roof of the terrarium.
I do love these little guys!
Also, how do you all think they look condition wise?? Can't see much of the brown fella, but how does the green guy look?? I got them 2months ago, at around 1/2" long and are now about 1" long and eat lke horses!

For red-eyes, they have no colour. Seriously, they look perfect.

[spooky]

Oooh, I'd like some red-eyes! They are gorgeous! I guess these two monsters will have to do for now

[1beataway]

How cute. They croaking yet?

[Kurt]

I guess so.

[spooky]

I've not heard a single croak! Bet they're both girls..... Was looking forward to hearing some croaking! Have my next frog lined up........ Am not stopping at these two after all!!! Muahahaha!

If I had the room I would be going crazy and getting more frogs and amphibians myself. They are very addicting! Last night I saw red-spotted treefrogs for sale over at Kingsnake.com's classifieds. I am so tempted, as there are three treefrog species I really want to get, yellow-eyed leaf frogs, Australian red-eyed treefrogs, and of course red-spotted treefrogs. So tempted! Maybe I will get lucky and someone will send me some for my birthday.

My current frog inventory includes -
5 fire-bellied toads, Bombina orientalis
1 western green toad, Anaxyrus debilis insidior (want more)
1 rococo toad, Chaunus schneideri
2 Colorado River toads, Ollotis alvaria
1 blue poison dart frog, Dendrobates tinctorius (want more, but need a bigger tank)
2 clown treefrogs, Dendropsophus leucophyllatus
1 green treefrog, Hyla cinerea
1 greater hatchet-faced treefrog, Sphaenorhynchus lacteus
2 White's treefrogs, Litoria caerulea
3 red-eyed leaf frogs, Agalychnis callidryas
1 tiger-legged monkey frog, Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis (thinking about getting more)
5 southern tomato frogs, Dyscophus guineti
3 red-banded rubber frogs, Phrynomantis bifasciatus
1 red-backed rubber frog, Phrynomantis microps (want more)
3 blue-webbed flying frogs, Rhacophorus reinwardtii

Lol, I love watching them stalk food. Especially when they ONLY turn their head and nothing else, as if to say "oooh!!! whats this?!!!??"

They look so content and happy. Also spooky, is that a background in your tank? It looks very interesting, the only one i found was a bit boring ( looked like rocks) haha.

[spooky]

It's polystyrene, but it looks like bark. It came with my exo terra terrarium but I've seen just the backgrounds for sale on Ebay

[Wambli]

my dumpys love to sit on the top of the branch and watch the crickets run below... you can see them move there heads as the crickets go by.... then BAM... they leap and the cricket is gone... they love to eat...

[spooky]

Yeah! It's easy to see how they can get obese. I've never known mine to turn a cricket down!!

[John]

Katie you should get an African Bullfrog - they think with their stomachs.

[spooky]

If I had the room in my house, I'd have an african bullfrog! I'm running out of space as it is, and now need to find space for a tank of fish as I'm getting rid of the aquatic sec of my terrarium. D'oh!

[John]

They use less space than tree frogs in my experience. African bullfrogs just sit around all day.

[IgbyKibbits]

Our crickets have gotten too smart for their own good! Several times, I have found both of our little guys (Igby and Kibbits) starring up longingly at the top of their tank only to find that the crickets had tediously crawled up the side and were hanging upside down off the screen! Haha! I was worried one of the boys was going to take a flying leap at the screen in an effort to retrieve them. Even better is when the cat spends hours watching the frogs who are watching the crickets. Nothing like cheap entertainment to carry you through the day!

[spooky]

I'm always finding crickets hiding in all the nooks and crannies around my terrarium! I just poke them towards the froggies
I don't have cats BUT I do enjoy watching my kids watching the frogs watching the crickets....! just as amusing!!

I know this topic is über old but.

Mine likes cricket watching too. Here's my pics.


I always feel bad when I have to put him back in his own cage. Sometimes I just wanna let him in there and see how many he eats.

[Tom Highum]

It is kinda almost sad. I want to let mine eat all they can sometimes too. So what was $2.50 from Wal-Mart?

Hm... *scrolls up and looks at all the pictures again* Judging by photographic evidence... a box of Christmas cards.
