Food for baby red eyes?

[Frogman1031]

Hello Hannah,

I don't have red eyes, but maybe I can help with the feeding problem

Small crickets, small dubias, earthworms cut up into small pieces or even hydei fruit flies for the super tiny babies can all work.

For the crickets, bowl feeding is usually a good strategy. Get a glass or smooth plastic bowl that the crickets can't escape from and the frogs wont knock over and leave the crickets inside. You'll also be able to see how much your frogs are eating.

You can also try feeding with rounded tip forceps. Red eyes won't always be willing to eat from them though.

Lastly, you can feed them in a separate, bare tank so they cant hide from your frogs or burrow.

As for the substrate, if you have live plants growing in it, the substrate should be properly layered using ABG mix or something similar. If there are no live plants, coco fiber will suffice. Some people use reptile carpet or paper towels which are easier to clean and will also help your feeding situation. Keep in mind that you'll probably have to mist more often.

Hope this helps and good luck!
