Yeah he acted totally disgusted, lol. But when it comes to crickets, and even wax worms, no prob!

I'm really contemplating trying a more "naturalistic" type of feeding regime... I want to pick two or three different insects, not overly large, to feed to the frogs every day, even separate the meals into a bug or two morning and night. I know people say feeding a frog three times a week is fine, but these captive frogs stuff themselves (usually out of a bowl or by hand) then sleep off a big load... they also wind up getting no exercise and getting impacted or having super big poo loaded with indigestible bug bits, and then can prolapse... Frogs in the wild are generally not fat; they stay on the move searching out their prey (if it doesn't just happen to be ambling past them) so they get exercise. Unless they are lucky and wind up on a nest of insects they aren't generally stuffing down tons of bugs all in one brief setting either. Our local PCFs would sit on the drain pipe near the light all night long, and it would take them hours to get a full meal (if they did) from all the little leaf hoppers or small moths that they would be lucky to catch. I just wish there was more info available on the feeding habits of WTFs in the wild, but strangely there doesn't seem to be, so all i can do is go by what I saw our local tree frogs doing.
