Green Tree frogs having trouble catching crickets?

[dmallia]

are all the crickets smaller than the pupillary distance of the smallest frog? and yes they are noctrunal.

from the pictures they all seem to have a big belly so it could be that they are still digesting their last meal.

ok. This morning i did not find any crickets, so they might have caught them while i was sleeping.

Not sure what parameters they require; but will give you couple tips that could save you some headaches later. Cover 2 enclosure sides to reduce stress, aquarium background or paper you like will do. R/O (and distilled) water is bad when used for frogs bath; use treated tap or bottled spring water for that.

As noted by Dmallia; the cricket size should be same as the distance between the frog's eyes. Feed frogs at night (adjust quantity so all crickets should be eaten in 30 minutes) and dust 2X CA/D3 and 1X vitamins weekly on different days with skip day in between. Crickets should be gut loaded with veggies (carrots, lettuce, etc.) and oatmeal, or Repashy's Bug Burger. Feeding crickets in small glass bowl(s) will keep them there and make it easy to monitor who is eating and who is not. Good luck !

The crickets must be a bit to big was my first thought. Looks like they ate them though, so probably not. You should still probably try thst glass bowl technique. It seems pretty popular lately.
