I was told that in general you let the frog eat as much as it can/wants in 15 minutes
and food should be an appropriate size to fit in their mouth
Yeh I know about the size, but 15 minutes seems a little weird to me. Not all frogs are as aggressive as others when it comes to eating. Not to mention I have a fairly large tank in comparison to my RETF, so crickets seem to try to hide. On a side note I saw my RETF hunt last night. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. I turned all the lights out. Any sudden movement in the thank the frog immediately took attention to and BAM, cricket was gone lol. I had to share that
Hi Mike.
I dont know how large a 6 week old Red-Eyed Leaf Frog is but just make sure the food you are feeding him/her is able to fit in hi/hers mouth easily.
With young frogs they need to eat more frequently as they are growing. I give my young frogs as much as they want to eat. When they mature you can change their food in take. Kurt's 15 min feeding every 2 to 3 days is a good one. You give them as much as they can eat in 15 min.
Sorry Kat, didn't realise you had posted.
haha no prob
so the 15 min rule should just to apply to older frogs? My frog is a little bigger than a quarter lol. thanks for all the fast feedback
At this age I would feed them every day.
