I've been trying to get Baby to eat something other than fruit flies. Unfortunately the container of fruit flies I only got several weeks ago is oddly empty. I just don't understand because I recall someone posting that theirs lasted about 6 months. I am basically only using them to feed Baby, Mr.hoppy and my new small froglet I call Shadoobie(if you watch Cheslea Lately you'd understand, it's a name for poop) he/she is brown, most of the time, but has been more green recently. Anyway, I was trying to get them to eat the waxworms without much success and found several small catapillars or inch worms that they gobbled up, I was so exited. By the time I realized that the ff were either empty or dead (even the lava aren't moving, but there seems to be plenty of eggs so I'll see what happens) I couldn't get a new order in time to feed these frogs, so when I got new crickets from the local pet store I picked out the smallest crickets I could find and success, Baby ate 1 small one and Mr. Hoppy ate 3, but Shadoobie didn't eat any. Every day I keep checking the ff container and every once and a while I'll find a couple and put them in their tank, but it isn't enough to feed them properly. I am a bit worried because Baby only had 1 cricket and that was yesterday and Shadoobie hasn't eaten well for several days now, both are starting to look thin. Today I am sitting here with all three in a coolwhip container with some small crickets, but not as small as the one Baby ate before. Mr. Hoppy ate one, but Baby and Shadoobie still have yet to eat. I ordered another container from Josh's frogs and had it shipped vis UPS instead of USPS since the fiasco last time. I hope I get it by Tuesday so they don't get too thin.
I am going to search the yard for more inch worms and even caught a small fly(I feel like Mr.Miagi, Karate Kid) I put in the container, Baby grabbed at it , but missed, hopefully he will get it.
I know it is not suggested to find bugs in the enviroment, but I am desperate and plan to release Shadoobie and ? Mr. Hoppy when they put on some more weight and get a little bigger so I know they have the best chance of surviving the winter.
I am, however, really exited that Baby has finally eaten some bigger food other than fruit flies.
