[Jacolette]

Good day, can someone please tell me. What kind of food do I need to feed these foam nest tree frogs. I have also one. Have no idea what to feed him or what to put in his tiridium (sorry for spelling)..... My father in law went away with his caravan to the coast. and when he arrived at home he find this little frog in his car. all the clever poeple say i must look after him until we go in that direction again. but until then i need to feed him and give him a home as well..... any advise please!!

Hello and welcome to FF Jacolette (pretty name) ! Post no. 2 has some info and there is more here: African Grey Treefrog (Chiromantis xerampelina).

They are tree frogs, so a diet on gut loaded crickets will work. Ensure they are smaller than distance between frog's eyes and fed carrots, lettuce, and cherios cereal 24-48 hours before feeding frogs. Also, if available there, can feed Dubia or similar roaches using same size guidelines. Need to supplement the food, more on that here: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...schedules.html.

Feeding from a small glass bowl helps keep feeders in one place, monitor frog eats, and supplement dust from falling off. It takes some time for frogs to figure out to grab food from above; but once they do it's a done deal.

In the future, you will have better responses if you start a new thread versus piggybacking on an old one. Good luck and post pictures of frog when you can !
