Cricket glass bowl trick????

[Nutz1207]

Boy am i glad i seen this. just last night i was watching one of my Red Eyes stalking a cricket that was on the screen top and i was thinking to myself i hope she doesn't do it and a t that very instant she jumpped missed the cricket and smashed her face on the screen there is no way that could of felt good. and i have notice that my other red eyed (i think its a male because he talks to me, and is alot smaller) is not a very good hunter and have been worried about him not eating enough. i was thinking i was going to have to feed them in another cage so i know they wouldnt get hurt and eating. but i think this trick is the ticket im going to try it tonight.

Hi,

I hope your frog is okay, poor thing. I was concerned about my tree frog eating and kept checking and finding the odd cricket that died. I wanted to make sure she was eating and found out on this site about the glass bowl.

I am pretty sure my tree frog is a female, she doesn't say a word. I'm sure you'll be relieved using one.

Cheers, or should I say Ribbit!

Well this trick worked great. i put six crickets in the bowl and after the lights were out for an hour or so i checked in on them and my male was sitting on the bowl and two crickets were missing and when i checked on them this morning my female was sleeping on the glass next to the bowl and only one ckicket was left.

works awesome and this thread should be a sticky here for sure! in my firebelly toads tank ive always had problems with floaters in there water but now i put the glass bowl in there and i just dump all the crickets in there and they all get eaten! this morning i actualy woke up to look and my frogs and ones sitting in the empty glass bowl and the other is just staring at it! since last time i fed my frogs were thursday and they had all 6 crickets i put in there eaten by friday they havent eaten in a while so i know there hungry!

What size glass bowl is good for this? I have baby white's tree frogs and I feed them small crickets.
