Check at your local pet stores for someone to help, that's what I did last time I went on vacation because my reds were still young. I would also make sure you have TREATED water in jugs ready for them so they don't accidentally forget.

Re: Vacation Feeding
okay, I have a couple family members and friends that could take care of one of the frogs. However I do not think they will feed crickets so is it possible they could just keep the humidity in check, spot clean, and change the water?
Re: Vacation Feeding
That will help but the starving part will need to be addressed. You could keep the crickets you want fed in a separate smaller container so all the family/friends would need to do it dump that container into the tank...

Re: Vacation Feeding
Most reputable reptile stores can house your pets, mine for example charge £1 a day, but supply your own food. But if you can't get someone to look after it, than maybe a frog isn't the pet for you.
I see it in a way that if you want a pet (any kind) and you need someone to look after it during vacations but people say no, you can have the frog and sacrifice your vacations and not go and look after your pet or have your vacations and no frog.
Re: Vacation Feeding
I am all about getting someone to watch over your frogs while you are gone, someone you can trust to do what you ask them to do-- easier said than done I know!
This thread sure brings up great questions that I hadn't even thought of... being a 24-7 caregiver I don't even know the meaning of the word "vacation"!And for me, being a paranoid and doting frog mom, I don't know if I'd even be able to be away from my frog kids that long... I'd miss them too much!
Mom to these fine frogs!

Re: Vacation Feeding
Yea guys I get worry sick when I let my friend take care of my gecko during my vacations. Thanks for the opinions guys!
Re: Vacation Feeding
I forgot to mention one question. If you own just one or two frogs, is it worth going through the hassle of breeding crickets.
Re: Vacation Feeding
Absolutely not, even for me and I get 500 crickets every 2 weeks. I tried to breed just to see first hand what is like, too much hassle, stinks like there's no tomorrow lol nope, I much rather buy.
To breed crickets having one or two frogs you gotta be either nuts or extreme smell lover lol
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
