    There is a way to fool tree frogs into eating that I've used many times and they usually fall for it..you take a thin guitar string,like a .006 stainless e string. Then you impale an insect,or meal worm or earthworm chunk etc. on the very end..hold the wire maybe 12 in. up and start making it fly around his head,,,like a flying bug..I've had stubborn frogs dive on this..

    That's great news!! She is beautiful! Most female greys tend to be voracious eaters, so it is interesting that you struggled at first. I am happy to know that it all turned out well in the end. Greys will forever be one of my favorite frogs
