Another basic, basic question....

My White ate large from the beginning. I felt like the cricket was almost his size! But he had no problem, and he only ate one a day at that time. He was like an inch long. Six crickets still seem like a lot though.

I tend to "free feed" all of my amphibians. That is, I have enclosures set up to just turn the food items loose in the tank and watch the show. It never ceases to amaze me how large of prey frogs will take on. I believe the term is "gape limited predation", meaning they will eat anything they can cram in.

I have found though with tree frogs anyway, that night is best to feed them, if they are "sleeping", they will eat when they are ready. I also found they quickly become obese if you do not carefully control how much food they have access to. believe me when I say there is nothing more sorry looking than an obese amphibian. (The frog I mention here is on a diet, but it may be some time before he is back down to his "fighting" weight...)

I feed the same way you do Johnny. Once a week, with the adult frogs, I throw in a bunch of crickets (and other bugs) and just let them go nuts. They don't eat all of them right away and snack on them as the week progresses. I do the same thing for the smaller mouths, just more frequently.

Well, good news! I saw him eat 2 crickets today! He seems to be pretty happy, he was in his water dish, then over into the waterfall. He moves pretty fast when he wants those crickets!
