    If the frog is truly on the verge of starving to death you better force feed first then look for appropriate feeders. doesn't do you any good to have a source of feeder frogs or mice if the frog die before you can offer them. Force feed the Pacman Food.

    Pacman food saved 1 of the 4 cornutas that I kept. 3 died because they were only fed the feeder frogs and earthworms.

    The pacman food wasn't fed until the 3rd one died. It saved the 4th frog.

    I even feed tiny baby froglets pacman food by syringe to get size on them.

    I went out and bought a green tree frog and she ate it. The situation is that I will still make attempts to feed her crickets, earthworms...but if this is the only thing she'll eat then is this ok?

    Yea its okay if you arent worried about her getting sick from them. I really dont see why yu arent interested in trying the pacman food. It really does work very well, even if you have to force feed it, which isnt all that difficult.
    If you get your frog started on frogs, you can say good bye to any chances of her ever eating anything else voluntarily.

    If you insist on feeding her tree frogs, I would suggest that you set up a green tree frog terrarium and care for them the best you can. That way they are fed a healthy diet, sized up, and you have time to monitor their over all health, eating habits, stool, weight etc. And you can keep about three on hand at any given time in one ten gallon vertically positioned, or more in a larger terrarium or heated plastic blanket box.

    I would still be very concerned about chytrid.

    I actually highly recommend the Pacman food. You should consider ordering a bag. A similar product at a better price would be Repashy Meat Pie, which has similar ingredients.

    I'm not against samurai food. I hear it is really good. I've thrown every piece of food you can think of at the WC Cornuta but there has been no huge gain in weight and a lot of the time I'm throwing it out. The minute I placed the GTF in there 30 minutes later it was gone. I saw the little leg sticking out of her mouth. The other WC Cornuta I have gobbles down crickets but nothing else. Is it true they get addicted to the samurai food?

    The samurai food is the best thing you can feed them. Did you worm the cornutas? You would have to feed twenty or so of those green tree frogs to notice a weight gain. Syringe feed the samurai food in a paste form.

    I get 350 feedings out a $10.00 bag of samurai food. Its very cheap for what the frogs get out of it.

    We have an adult WC cornuta (Alice, she is my avatar) and at first she was very hard to get to feed, but with patience, she did start taking the nightcrawlers. She also has had some of the Samurai food. It is excellent for getting weight on them.
    What I am wondering is this: If actual breeders and folks with experience are giving you advice YOU asked for, what's the big deal? Feeding it other frogs is going to do exactly what Ra said it would do......guarantee that the cornuta will never want to eat anything else. It is no longer in the wild and why take the risk of passing on parasites or chytrid? We got Alice to eat the worms by using the same methods shown in the video we made for THIS purpose.....to help folks who had difficult to feed frogs.

    Best of Luck.
