    Exclamation Dumpy tree frog feeding help!

    I have 4 dumpy tree frogs in a all screen enclosure. Now I have a couple questions. How do I feed these guys evenly I looked up that putting a dish in there and putting crickets in the dish is a good Idea so I tried it. Later that night I went to go check on the crickets and there was one of my frogs in the container looking like he had a full belly and the other three were nowhere to be found. How do I feed these guys evenly?! And I would also like to know if my frogs need a heat lamp or anything. Also how do I keep humidity in an all screen enclosure? I am looking forward to hearing your guys feedback!

    You dont keep humidity in all screen enclosure, you need glass enclosure for them and big at that too.
    You might need to use a few bowls or hand feed.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Well could you link me a specific tank you recommend for 4 adult dumpys? Also I tried rapping the sides of the tank in plastic in. Hope to keep the humidity in. I also turn on my room humidifier and shut my door when I'm not in i. Is that helping at all?

    Exo Terra 36x18x36 with basking area top right side using a 45 - 65 watt red bulb pending what time of year it is. Basking area should be around 90 degrees. I bowl feed & tong feed. If one seems to be eating all the food, remove it from the dish and place the others there and tong feed the piggy one while the others eat their share. Don't try to skimp on the housing for your frogs since this will lead to health issues and can lead to death. Research and info gathering is the most important thing on keeping amphibians and really any living thing happy & health.
