Re: Firs frog - How often should I feed a young American Gray Tree Frog?
Pinheads will stay in glass bowl. Removing him for feeding could end up stressing him out. Here is a link to how to bowl feed - http://www.frogforum.net/general-dis...eder-bowl.html
Make sure 3 sides of the QT tank are covered. The "hyper" may have been him panicking in a new enclosure trying to find a way out.

Thanks for the link, ill take your word for it and put them in a glass bowl, see how it goes.Originally Posted by LilyPad
Im sorry but i really truly think he was attracted to the light. He wasnt doing that on the other side of the cage. Only directly under the light. I will be sure to cover up three sides so as not to stress him out. Thanks!
Re: Firs frog - How often should I feed a young American Gray Tree Frog?
Quarantined
How long should i keep him in here?
Re: Firs frog - How often should I feed a young American Gray Tree Frog?
30 days minimum. Make sure his water isn't more than chin deep.

You may want to "gut load" the crickets, unless you use the stuff you sprinkle on them. I usually feed the crickets fish flake food an hour before feeding them to my frogs.
Re: Firs frog - How often should I feed a young American Gray Tree Frog?
Can i gut load them with lettuce, carrots, spinach, that sort of thing?
Re: Firs frog - How often should I feed a young American Gray Tree Frog?
yes it is just a mess you need to clean up every day. fish flakes are easier, but whatever you have will work.

I bought pinheads today as well as calcium. I fed the pinheads spinach and cabbage. An hour later I put them in a glass bowl. And Gandalf (I decided to name him Gandalf the Gray, haha. If he turns out to be female I'll just name him Ms. Gandalf) jumped in, but he didn't eat any. I waited and watched for about a half hour. I put the crickets back and took out the bowl. I'll try again later. Honestly Gnadalf has grown already since I found him. He looked quite thin and now has a big pot belly. He looks more like a frog now. Maybe that maggot is taking a while to digest so he doesnt feel hungry? He has already started turning gray too! It's only been like two days and there are such changes in appearance.
Before he went in. He seemed interested so I'm surprised he didn't eat any. Might the pinheads be too big?
Re: Firs frog - How often should I feed a young American Gray Tree Frog?
Ill try fish flakes too some time, just to mix things up. I dont mind cleaning up the crickets' home, ive done it for the past 7 years, what with having a Bearded Dragon. Lol.
Re: Firs frog - How often should I feed a young American Gray Tree Frog?
Exactly what was said above. If you plan on storing crickets for a longer period than an hour. Make sure to have a cricket house with food and water (water on a paper towel will suffice).
Re: Firs frog - How often should I feed a young American Gray Tree Frog?
Fresh vegetables and fruits are much healthier! I use carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes, watermelon, orange slices etc, with cheerios. I use orange slices or flukers orange cubes for water, but you can get water crystals too. I keep it in a dish so I can dump it out and refill it every day. Remember, what goes into your crickets, goes into your frogs. The healthier your crickets are gutloaded, the healthier your frogs will be! I gutload mine for 24-48 hours before feeding.

Re: Firs frog - How often should I feed a young American Gray Tree Frog?
I gave them a good home. Paper towel, spinach and cabbage, an egg crate. I am used to crickets due to having a Bearded Dragon (7 years). Bearded Dragons are much like frogs it seems when it comes to food and vitamins/calcium.
Re: Firs frog - How often should I feed a young American Gray Tree Frog?
You can "gut load" them any way that's been mentioned. I know fish flake food is healthy for them, its what you'd feed them as tadpoles. Either way, crickets usually lay wastes every few hours anyways. As long as they have food to keep them gut loaded. Your frog(s) should stay healthy.
Re: Firs frog - How often should I feed a young American Gray Tree Frog?

Re: Firs frog - How often should I feed a young American Gray Tree Frog?
