    Thanks for the camera info, I am going to look it up online.
    Sounds like that little frog is eating really well, and you said this frogs about 1", he/she is eating a lot for it's size, my 1" Gray's will eat about 5 small/medium sized crickets in 1 day! 11 in 24 hours is glutany, lol maybe he is a she, I noticed that the few I am sure are females will keep eating as long as there are crickets and I leave them in the tank/container. Humm, they may be smaller crickets than what I am feeding mine and may have been very hungry. Either way it's great he/she eating so soon and so well.
    Well you won't believe this or maybe you will, but I found another very small froglet yesterday I put in with Baby and the gimp, Mr. Hoppy. It's the same size as Baby is now and is oddly brown???It is a Gray Tree froglet, I am sure of this! Here is a pic. I will keep it for a while to fatten it up and let it grow a bit then will release it. I routinely catch the froglets and feed them, mostly when it is cold or raining or they're very small, and feed them fruit flies and crickets. The winters here are very cold (got down to -15'F) and long(got 1-2' of snow in October and some in April) and harsh (got 5' plus of snow in 1 week). I figure the bigger and well fed they are before the weather gets bad the better chance of survival through the winter, I am such a sucker for those cute little face, but I am worried about the tads in the pool!
