Feeding juvenile White's tree frog..?

[Shade38]

My little White's is still pretty small maybe 2 inches and I feed him/her every day. I'm still trying to figure out how much to feed him.

He/She ALWAYS acts hungry! Even if I've fed him/her tons, he/she still sits at the food bowl and will stay there all night, unless he/she needs to soak. He/She even gets so excited to eat that he/she jumps for the cricket dispensing tube and sometimes doesn't let go.

I read the "feed as much as they'll eat in a 15 minute span." I worry about doing that though because I've given up to 10 small crickets and he/she gobbles it all up superfast!!! (Like less than a minute.) Then gets really plumply full.

Is there any other way to tell if you're feeding enough/too much?

Obesity is a huge issue with the Whites Tree Frog. I would probably feed her about 5-10 every other day. If you are feeding her small crickets, I would maybe do 12-15 small crickets every other day. I have my adult and she only eats about 20-30 per week, so when your frog is an adult this will probably settle down.

my whites get fed every day as much as they want but only appropriate sized prey.

frognerd101, what size do you feed your adult?

My largest Whites is just a little over 2 inches. Everyone gets 4 small to medium crickets every night. I watch them eat and there is usually one frog that is slow to the hunt so I tong feed that one to make sure they are all even.
