I am wondering if we are feeding her enough.

Our last frog was not a voracious eater. We'd drop a few crickets in every other day and he'd inhale one and then take his sweet time going after the other two - sometimes not eating them at all.

This new frog, however, eats crickets as quickly as we drop them in. In fact, one dropped on her head and she snagged it before it hit the moss. (My husband wasn't trying to be mean by dropping it on her head - she just moved in the way)

Should we stick to the every other day policy or should we feed her more?

Here's a picture for identification purposes:
I cant see what frog that is. But judging by the green color and shape. Id say its a type of treefrog? post a larger picture? Anywho, since its a wild caught animal, take it to the vet and do a fecal exam. Also get her checked for anything. Shes probably harboring parasites and diseases. Above all dont release her. For feeding, if its a small treefrog... Id say at most 3large crickets every other day. Sometimes leave 2 days in between. Dust 3crickets ONCE a week, with calcium powder with D3 and Vitamin powder.

Here are other foods you can try:
Roaches
Wax worms(but their high in fat)
Goliath worms(high calcium)
Silk worms(high calcium)
Earthworms(high protein)
Pheonix worms(high calcium and protein)

Grasshoppers
Locusts
Slugs
Snails
Moths


DO not feed:
Butterflies(possible toxiciticy), fire flies(def. toxic), meal/super/mega worms(they clog up their system, like gum)

Good luck with your frog and welcome to the forum.
