hi there, i just got one of these frogs (also called the shovel nose frog, but it’s NOT the tree frog) at a reptile expo on saturday. i’ve been keeping frogs for 17 years so i have a generally-good idea on how to care for them, plus the vendor gave me some info but i just want to make sure i’m doing it right.
i have the lil dude(tte) in an enclosure that has the length and width of a 20L aquarium but it is only about 5” tall, specifically for terrestrial species. i have eco earth substrate for it, a very shallow water dish, a log hide and some fake plants for additional cover. i keep the eco earth moist.
what my main question is, is what is the best way to go about feeding this frog? the vendor told me he gives them pinhead crickets, but the smallest available at the expo were 1/4”. so i bought a hundred of those, and have been placing/replacing (so they don’t die) a few in the enclosure nightly. but it’s not eating them. i know it’s only been a few days so i’m not too worried yet, i just want the lil thing to eat! any help is appreciated. thank you.
