Thank you so much Carlos, Im glad i found this forum. I used regular spring water w/o dechorinating. When you say froglets, you mean they are starting to form their legs? Not baby tads right? As soon as they get their front and back limbs they should go on unprinted paper towels until their tail disappear? The cricket was almost the same size as the babies. But i was told by a amph specialist at petco the frogs will eat a cricket the same size.......so i know they were def stressed out by him being in their presence. They were trying to attack the cricket but the cricket was fighting back. What do you mean by froglet snout to vent length? I posted pics

A too dry substrate is bad for froglets. As Amy stated, they should be kept for first 4 weeks in daily changed damp unprinted paper towels as substrate. Gravel is no good for frogs; if eaten it can lead to impaction.

How big was cricket and what is froglet snout to vent length? Too big a cricket can harm the frogs by actually biting them, specially if left in enclosure and it gets hungry. Insects should be no bigger than distance between froglets eyes, gut loaded, and removed from enclosure if not eaten in couple hours or overnight.
