Treats for a gray tree frog

What's a nightcrawler? Never heard of those!I I'll maybe try to get some of the beetle larvae or waxworms...just to give him something different once in a while!!

It's a large earthworm Smaller earthworms are easier to feed though if you have a small frog, otherwise you have to cut the worm up and that's just nasty. My frogs don't like the pointy head end either. Some people also feed Dubia (two spotted roach) but they would have to be young ones, as they can get to be as big as your frog!

Also hornworms are good if your frog is impacted. Although I've never seen one, so I don't know if they'd be a good size for a gray. Also, they can make the stool a bit runny.

Edit: Apparently hornworms get about 1-4 in, probably too big.

People in the Feeders section could probably answer the question better than I could.

My greys really only eat crickets. I tried waxworms once before knowing they weren't great, and none of my frogs have had any interest. Same goes for earthworms and dubia roaches. So I've given up and just make sure that my crickets are fed a variety of healthy foods and dusted with vitamins so that my frogs get what they need.

ETA: Female greys are voracious eaters and can have issue with obesity, the males have less of a problem, but I think even my boys would be quite plump if I let them eat to their heart's content.

Thanks Amy, I learned something.

There are also isopods/woodlice and inchworms. Though inchworms are a bit high in fat, according to Strider18.
