    It is about a month or so into this adventure. I feed him med-large crickets. He eats them up fine. Clean the poop every few days if I can find it. Sometimes he is vocal other times just silent.

    Crickets are escaping the enclosure before he can finish eating. I watched one. And from putting in the floor to escaping was under 1 minute. Not sure how to seal the top lip where the background and top are. more reading.

    Can you post a picture of where the crickets are escaping from?

    Silicone is my usual choice for sealing small cracks, you'd need to remove the frog while it cures though. A low-temp hot glue gun might also do the trick depending on your gap.

    if it's not an obvious spot, filter floss works wonders

    How about bowl feeding him? No more escapees

    I was hand feeding at first but I fixed the issue. I rather have him hunt for his food. Taking the advice of the posters above I used suran wrap as a temp solution and it working great. After I finish moving to the new house and settle down will research on using silicone or another filler. Yes I still need to take a photo of where the crickets are escaping. Now that this is resolved I can put 6-10 crickets in the tank with some carrots and lettuce to eat and they are fine. The frog eats about 2 a day and I think he is happy. AT night he is so loud with his croaking. Before he was very quiet.

    AFTER the move: REAL plants.

    Congrats, looks like your frog is doing much better and letting you know by croaking loudly .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Thanks Carlos. Yes I am trying different things. I think the humidity levels so high and the crickets he can eat any time are making him happy. He now is seen in several different places in the tank through out the day instead of just one place. Early mornings he is so loud with his croaking. Thinking of putting another Green Tree frog in there so he has company. NO RETF in this area so I will have to wait on that.

    Thanks everyone, while I will not be in the tree frog forums you can catch me in the darts forum.
