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).

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.

Great! We have always got fruits and vegetables in the house. I've got the fluckers cricket quencher. Would that be alright? Im not sure how safe thatd be for a frog to eat a cricket thats munched on that. So in 1-2 days they should be completely gut fed? okay.

Cricket quencher should be fine for giving them water. Try giving him 3-5 crickets for the first few nights and see what he eats. He may be overwhelmed by that many crickets. They are a little big, I would start by picking out the smallest ones to give him for right now.

Last night Gandalf passed a big poop, the biggest he has ever passed. I believe that was the remains of the maggot. I figured he would be hungry after having finally passed that. Tried giving him pinheads, he ate 3! he is completely gray now. Ill post photos later on. Thanks for the help guys.

Edit: oh and I inspected some of his poop. The big one which I believe was the maggot did have some maggot like skin in it. And his smaller poops are not to wet and not too dry. Looks a lot like soil. Breaks apart like it as well. The rest of his poop was in the water bowl so I wasnt able to test it.

Before I cleaned his bowl. I think theyre supposed to usually poop in their water bowl right?

Completely gray now!

Also much fatter. My avatar proves that! Im surprised by how many changes there have been over the span of only 3 days.

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.
