    You should gut load them with fruits and vegetables, so this gut load will in turn transfer to your frog. Apples, Oranges, Celery, Chard,carrots, strawberries, I could go on and on.

    IMO feeding fruits has to be done carefully to avoid attracting flies to your colony. If doing so, just feed small amounts that will be consumed overnight. Vegetables can be fed but should be fed the same way and replaced daily. Dry items like oatmeal, cherios, etc. can be left until consumed as long as dry.

    Supply water with cricket gel or a wet cotton bowl (dechlorinated water) changed no less than every couple days. Repashy's Bug Burger is good food but more expensive option than those mentioned previously.

    Have never used it; but from reading in cricket threads, those Fluker's Orange cubes are reviewed as not great to bad. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    I'll second that- orange cubes are bad, i had a very high cricket mortality rate using these and they're also super expensive, get simple polymer water crystals, they are used in gardening for soil, i got a packet off ebay for 8$, that I'm using for more then a year now and as a food- just anything you have laying round, fruits, veggies, cereals, bread, dog/cat food,
    by the way none of my crickets were eating repashy bug burger, so I'm stuck again with a bag of repashy something.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
