So I'm new to the forum but LOVE you guys! I've read the care sheets, some threads, etc. Our grey tree frog "Jelly" is fed exclusively gut loaded crickets. I'd like to change up her diet, but want some ideas for how to collect moths, or if anyone has ideas how to get/capture/raise fruit flies for her? I've occasionally put banana peels in the tank and fruit flies appeared and were quickly eaten. Anyone else have good ideas? I'd like to have several, but don't want them all over my house! I've also seen some members refer to meal worms for feeding. Can I assume that you are referring to live meal worms as opposed to the canned/jarred dead ones? Do you tweezer feed these as well, or just put them in the tank?
Jelly absolutely loves her crickets and we get such delight in feeding her with feeding tweezers. She ATTACKS them and it's fun to watch her eat! I just would like to switch it up. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Second question: I use the coconut fiber substrate and some light moss on top. She also has a rocky area leading to her corner water dish, as well as branches and a fake plant. I mist her tank 1-2 times a day, and we run humidifiers in our home. She loathes getting the coconut fibers on her skin. She wriggles and writhes, trying to clean them off. Eventually she jumps in the water and comes out clean. Is this normal or is she OCD? haha Do you guys use coconut fiber, or just chemical free top soil?
Third question: Do you ever handle your tree frog? Ours seems pretty tame and will actually jump onto my arm when I feed her sometimes. I've read though that I shouldn't handle her as it's bad for her skin. Your thoughts?
Last question: Any suggestions for real plants that she would enjoy? I'd like to upgrade her fake plant as a Christmas gift.
Thank you in advance!!
