Whites Tree Frog / Crickets

[Cor8et]

Hi, thank`s for reading this thread.

I`v just noticed a baby cricket running about my tank. I`v given it a spray to see if any more would jump about but nothing. There will be more or more to come.

Question is: will they do any harm to the frog in numbers?

I`v got a dish with Bug Grub for the couple of adults that are in there now.

I'm new as well, too many crickets may bite, especially if you have the baby frogs. Few at a time is safer. Read an earlie thread party keeps extra crickets in a covered candy dish.

My Frog had just a week, prefers to snooze daytime in a butter box, then active at night. Box opening wash pushed against the glass as I left to the store, managed to move it an daytime enjoying the enclosure, missed the entry activity, sure it was amusing.

Hi,
It is really best to remove all un-eaten crickets daily and return them to the cricket bin to feed. You might consider " bowl " feeding as this would help you keep track of how much your frog is eating as well as be able to properly dust w \ calcium and vitamins on a routine schedule.

Lynn Is completely correct as usual.
But just in case you don't know what "bowl" feeding is, I will expand on her comment.

Using a small glass bowl 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter with a lip edge of at least 1in.
Placed sunken down in the substrate so the lip edge is just above the substrate.
The reason I like to slightly burry the bowl is to lessen the confusion to the frog.
I have watched mine try to eat the crickets though the glass, Comical as it is it still is frustrating for the frog
Crickets can't climb smooth clean glass. And they aren't smart enough to just jump out.
So the feeder crickets can be placed in the bowl and not have free range and possibly
bite your babies like Wnppmy mentioned.

Hope that this clarifies things for you.

And welcome to the forum.
Don't forget to introduce yourself in the introductions area if you haven't already done so.
And we love to see pictures of your babies and the living quarters.

Hi guy`s, thanks so much for your time and knowledge, it`s really appreciated.

He`s an adult male, around 3. I`v put two small bowls out with a cricket in each to see if they can escape, one is 1 1/2inches deep and the other 2inches deep

Louis i`v a few baby`s here but only the one frog, he did have a partner to hitch a lift off but sadly dies over a year ago






This is a better one to look at



Thank`s
