    Default Reasonable feeding schedual?

    Normally I feed my two Whites a cricket a day for four days and then let them rest for three days. They seem okay, but I notice many people feed more than one cricket at a time. Is one schedule necessarily better than another? I don't think so, but I wanted to ask people in case I'm wrong.

    Hi Elly, I have 4 whites tree frogs and I feed them 3/4 times a week. I always do multiple crickets when I feed, not one each, even if I hand feed them!

    As long as your whites have the slight folds near their ears then they should be healthy but personally I would recommend bigger feeds than this!

    Wow no wonder mine are fat... We usually feed every other day. Until they eat no more, and whoo buddy some days they can really eat.

    But then again we go through a little over 2000 crickets a week here.

    I feed mine 2 times a week. They get 4 large crickets each. This way they do not get fat and they are energetic. I think the one a day might be good for young frogs, but as they get older I think they might need a couple every free to get enough.

    My trio of RETF are on the same schedule as the (50+) geckos so they get fed Mon, Wed, Fri with a handful of crickets in a very heavily planted tank. So far everyone is doing well.

    Good to know. Thanks everybody. My frogs look okay, with decent-sized earfolds but I think I'll upgrade to two crickets.
