    I think if you would use multiple feeders it will help to give more variety for the frogs which can help. You can feed crickets many things like fish food and bird seed and cricket chow. I use water crystals for water in my cricket bins. You can try and use the UVB light to see if it helps. It should. I'm more a fan of the Exo Terra UVB lights I have had a better experience with them lasting longer and seem to be much brighter. Sorry for a late response but I hope this helps.


    Other feeders
    Crickets
    Banded Crickets (order at Josh's Frogs)
    Waxworms
    Butterworms
    Calci Worms (Black Soldier Fly)
    Isopods
    Very few times Mealworm Beetles

    Supplements:
    Rep Cal Multi Vitamin
    Rep Cal Calcium with D3
    Repashy Calcium Plus

    Exo Terra 13-26 watt UVB (green package)

    Thank you! I will give a try. I may have some difficulty getting the other insects you mentioned, but I will look around and give it a try.

    Yes that's a little cold to have them at all year. If you could bump it to 75 even that might make a difference.

    I keep mine in the summer at a cycled temperature. The highs are 73-75 and lows are 65-69. I can control the temp from May when my AC goes in until October-November when it comes out and I can say it works nicely but I cannot replicate this all year. Around this time I keep it around 75-78 just room temperature. I try to keep 55-65 humidity as well.

    Hope this helps.
