Yea I basically said to hell with doing my usual things with my frogs, I emptied their water bowl thingy (which I will of course refill when feeding is done) and put the powdered flies in there. I guess the thing that sucks is I have one frog down there now feeding and the other 2 are off probably hiding or sleeping. I'm just afraid that in these beginning stages of feeding them like this, that they won't get as much food as they need because they just don't know it's there. :\
They will find food. It also can help to spread the flies out in several places throughout the tank if you have a frog that tends to hide.
Frogs love to hunt for food. It's sort of their thing. By the time I add flies tomorrow the frogs will have hunted and killed all those stupid flies. If there are some left I just feed less.

So this is my new enclosure for my froglets while they're growing.
It's a 10 gal which I believe is good for 3 gray tree frogs to grow.
I've put some flies in there and again, only one of my guys so far have gotten the memo. It really does concern me that the other 2 may not be getting fed enough, if it all. Ugh.
When I switched my enclosures I actually had to dig to find my other 2 frogs. They were buried in the substrate. Not sure exactly what that means. I know that they do that in the winter but don't know much more than that. Do they do that when they're really stressed or something?
Anywho, hopefully soon all 3 of my guys will get on board with this new routine and I don't have to worry for too much longer.
Thanks again to everyone for their awesome advice and suggestions!
