    Well the only problem with that is that they're babies so im supposed to feed them everyday and i dont want to feed them too many crickets at once because ive heard that can cause a prolapse... this is so hard

    i once had a very young juvenile escape, only to find him 2 months later. i can only imagine what/if he ate during that time, but he survived, and after a few weeks of quarantine, he was fine. so i can attest that a juvenile can go 4 days without food. feeding everyday is very good, but it is not law. if you do not have someone who you can trust to feed them everyday, they will be fine. they won't die because they didn't eat every single day.(let the flaming begin...lol) in the wild, they eat when food opportunities arise, which may be every couple days or not for a week or two.

    My torch seems to be out of gas...

    4 days should be no problem for a healthy and well fed juvenile treefrog. You can also do the http://www.frogforum.net/vivarium-te...owl-trick.html and leave a few extra crickets in it before you go. They won't be able to roam freely then.

    I concur with brian...do the glass bowl trick and just get an automatic mister or fogger. However the fogger wont last 4 days even on the lowests setting. The exo terra MONSOON mister WILL last 4 days at timed intervals. I can actually go 2 weeks with the exo-terra mister. Yes its 40 dollars more than the fogger but you get your moneys worth. Also it all depends on where your located. If you feel like releasing that im sure someone wouldnt mind taking care of your animals that is on here.
