i believe that Red eyes stress out during changes. give it a bit more time. let them have a calm environment, and they should start eating soon.

Yes reds will protest and not eat. Things to do to help them.
1. Make sure there aren't to many food items crawling around the tank
2. Leave them in peace at night for a couple nights
3. Make sure the temp and humidity are in the proper ranges
4. Cover 3 sides of the tank
5. Leave them alone
They will settle in in no time at all.

Re: Tree frog food problems
I dont have a lamp or anything for lighting. Just a 5.5 gallon tank with 6 crickets and a water bowl. Is it necessary for lighting or is it a want?

Re: Tree frog food problems
I know right? I had a whole response typed, and then the freaking internet stall and it got deleted, and then I was just like, "screw it". I would say a minimum size of a ten gallon tank for the frogs. I have a couple questions:
Are these frogs in Isolation?, because thats what it sounds like
What's the temp and humidity?
What kind of top are you using for the tank?
Are you using paper towels in the bottom? If so, how often do you change them?
What size crickets are you using?
At what time of day or night do you feed them?
If they are in isolation, what will their final tank look like? Is it being built yet?
Lighting is definitely important, because they are nocturnal, and need to have a good day/night cycle of 12 hours of each so as to know when to come out and eat.
I'm no expert, but answering these questions could help other members and/or myself to help.

Reds need a minimum of 10 gallons per frog. For 3 you need at least an 18x18x24 tank.
