Feeding Frogs Fruit Flies = Frustrating!

It's just your basic frog starter kit that I got at Petsmart. I'm definitely planning on investing in something a bit bigger as the frogs themselves get bigger. but while they're small enough, this is working perfect.

Hi
Have you considered removing all of the moss ?
(you don't want to ever feed them on the moss...because they can accidently eat it which can cause an impaction)

Replace the moss ( while they are little ) w/ dampened paper towels.
Dampen the pt w/ de-chlorinated water.

I use these kind of - staging -'grow out' enclosures for froglets and for the QT of newly acquired dart frogs.

For example:




( these are a 2.5 gallon glass aquarium that comes with a glass lid for $12.00 from petsmart)
shown- one with paper and one without the one without ( soil added) is used when they are old enough to find their food more easily on their own. These are housing R imitator 'varadero' froglets. These tanks come in plenty of sizes with lids of which you can add glass to.

Just a thought. This will enable you to monitor their food intake while they are still small.
You would be able to add the flies directly into either type of these enclosures without removing them everyday for feeding.
This will help to reduce the stress of handling the froglets frequently.
