    Question Feeding larger prey to baby tree frog

    I have a very small grey tree frog, about the size of a dime. I have gotten flightless fruit flies for him, but he is not interested in them at all. However, he does go nuts for crickets. I tried the smallest size crickets and they still seem a touch big, but he gobbles them up quickly. Could this be a problem if I continue to feed him these?

    When you say smallest size crickets, is that the smallest size the pet store sells? You can buy smaller pin head crickets from an online vendor that should be a good size for a small frog.

    The risk of continuously feeding him crickets that are too big for him is impaction. So keep an eye out for poop in his tank.

    Thanks,
    And yes the smallest from the pet store. They are slightly larger than or the same as the space between his eyes. I was using them because I ordered some micro repti-worms, but they won't arrive until next week. I have only had him a few days but so far I have found poop in his cage.
