Red Eyed Tree Frog Food

[flybyferns]

Hi Lynn, Thanks for the kind words and feedback.

Many zoos and private keepers do well on the diet you describe. Here's a note with some of my practices. there are risks to using wild caught insect, but I've never run into problems, even when using commercial insect traps on grounds of Bx Zoo. However, West Nile spraying campaigns and related are a concern.

Best, Frank

Thanks very much, Frank
I'm sure red eyed tree frogs keepers will enjoy and benefit from this.
As mentioned in the "here's a note", a nutritious cricket diet is as equally important.

I tried raising wax worm moths once. My red eyed tree frogs had difficulty catching them. I should try again.
Maybe I could modify ( ) the moth and put it into the feeder bowl?
The moreletii are more proficient hunters, I'm sure they would enjoy and benefit from them as well.
It's easy enough to raise them.

So true, regarding the West Nile spraying. I'm in north western Suffolk county, Long Island.
Despite what "they" say; it has ,sadly, taken a toll on the the # of Monarch butterflies over the past few years.
