    Default Help with feeding red eyed tree frogs!

    Tonight was my first time attempting to feed my three red eyed tree frogs and I feel like it was a total failure. Of course crickets ran all over the tank hiding under, and behind everything and burrowing in the substrate. One figured out how to get behind the cork bark background. I don't feel comfortable just putting the crickets in there and walking away, I won't be able to know if the frogs are getting fed or not. I grabbed some crickets with pairs of tweezers and tried to get the frogs interested but they weren't. I think it's because the light was on in the tank, and or my light was on in my room. I'm having some issues because I want to watch my frogs but when ever I turn a light on it's immediately night night for the frogs. or so it seems. They immediately settle in and start closing their eyes. So, crickets ran all over the tank, I have a 24x18x24 tank. I'm a little easily stressed and this little issue of the feeding not going as smoothly as I imagined in my mind has got me pretty driven up the wall. They are pretty new, they arrived yesterday morning. They are adults but they were claimed to be C.B. Any tips on what I can do? Or any reassurance that I don't need to worry? oh and tips on the light issue would be helpful as well. Thanks.

    Use the bowl method bury it in the subtrait put the crickets in the bowl glass works best without ridges or groves and get a small desk lamp so you can see the bowl than wait . It may rake a ill time but eventually they'll be waiting for you... Feed them at the same time every day and don't move the bowl
