hi! my moms are against crickets too, and i hate them as well so i way looking for other food items for my whites tree frogs! i would recommend dubia roaches! they are cheap, nutritious, and easier than crickets because they do not jump or die off quickly. you may want to get an older frog because i don't think they make tiny tiny tiny dubia roaches, but i feed mine small, powdered in the same stuff as my gecko, and they actually prefer them!
