Barking Tree Frog wont eat roaches

[Bluez3023]

Well I have two tomato frogs and a pacman frog and they respond to roaches well, but I cant get my barking tree frog to eat them at all. I use the small blaptica dubia in the green bowl so they cant crawl out and I don't think he's interested at all.

I have seen him eat, when I had waxworm moths he went crazy for them, and he ate a couple crickets, but the moths were annoying to breed because they would get free in my house and the crickets I heard are a smelly breeding experience

am I doing something wrong? also he doesnt respond to hand feeding he just backs ups from the tweezers

should I just break down and start buying crickets/moths again? :/

"Hunger makes great sauce". I would keep offering things with the tweezers - he should come around after a few days of trying.

Dubias aren't always active enough in bowels to readily attract the attention of all kinds of frogs. Some frogs prefer a more active roach species like blatta lateralis.

well I'm in the process of breeding some green banana roaches, maybe ill start a turkistan culture as well. I think he's still too afraid of me/tongs to hand feed.

side question, is my tank setup okay, it's 84F and 70%

I am sure they will love the banana roaches, they are very attractive to a lot of tree frogs, the only thing is being both a glass climber and a very active flier banana roaches are something of a pain to culture without getting escapes.
