Underweight Gray Tree Frog, Advice Wanted

[HazelCat]

I wondered about poking them with something first, I will definitely do that as well as crushing the head... I mostly got excited about them because they are the right size for this tiny guy, which seems pretty rare... the good sized feeder sold near me are the flies.

Woops, meant the ONLY good sized feeder... Forgot a word there.

Just an update, he is doing very well and seems to have already gotten bigger and gained weight. Not sure how to upload photos from an iPad, so here's a link: http://imgur.com/YmtFkPl

Awww he is quite thin. Poor little guy. If you can find wax worms that are small enough, they're really high in fat. Not high in nutrition though, so they should not become a regular feeder. I would start feeding him some fruit flies a couple of times a day. Make sure you're dusting with vitamins and calcium.

Whoops, meant the only good sized feeder, forgot a word in there.

But just an update: he is looking very good now, and already seems to have grown some. I have also discovered that he does well with eating from tongs, which makes it even easier to make sure he's getting enough to eat. Figured with him being so small, he'd be afraid of them, but he does even better than my much larger American toads. Not sure how to upload a photo on here, so here's a link: http://imgur.com/YmtFkPl
