hi guys, i am new to the forum and i am due to get some red eyed tree frogs in a few weeks. I am well prepared for them and have their viv set up ready (so excited!)
Just wondering, as they will be babies, would it be too stressful for them if i move them into a 'breeding box' to monitor feeding whilst they are still little. I have a very large viv and as they are currently 1cm i am worried that as they are tiny and probably inexperienced hunters, would it do them harm if i used a seperate area to ensure they are feeding okay until they are bigger ? I thought it might stress them, so i have also bought a feeding bowl as i have read that crickets are far too stupid to try jump out! Which do you think would be a better option ?
I am completely ready for the little ones to arrive, just querying on this!
Thanks guys !![]()
Hello Hazel, The frogs may get a little lost in the vivarium if they are so smallonce you first acquire them, dont handle or feed them for the first day, Only when necessary. Your babies should probably be kept in a faunarium or even a 5 gallon tank would work best, feed flightless fruit flies and pinhead crickets for them daily and keep them on paper towel substrate and you should have healthy happy frogs
Lynn and heather have kept these species longer than i have, they will have loads of info on red eyes.
