    Thank you they were a little more "piggie" with the flies tonight when i put them in. They seem to be settling in nicely, the larger two were hopping around all day and were quite happy to gobble up a few flies when I fed them. The smaller one still tends to hide when I lift up the lid so it took him longer to come out and eat. Im sure in a few days they will be little fly vacuums

    Another factor that could have an impact is the amount of flies fed, especially if they are larger than normal. How many did you place in the vivarium in a single period?

    I've been putting in about 30 dusted flies at a time.

    The general rule of thumb is to only feed what the frog can eat in around 30 mins, so if they are not eating as aggressively then that will lower the amount eaten in that time. I would recommend gradually lowering the amount fed by one per feeding and see what they are comfortable with.
