About a month and a half ago a got two baby red eyes that were less than 3/4 inch. I put them in a small terrarium so they could easily find the crickets but they still didn't look like they were gaining weight and I couldn't tell if they were eating. I had trouble keeping the pin heads from drowning even from just misting the tank. So. I stopped wetting the paper towel to keep the pin heads alive. I only have one small pothos for them to climb on and that is it. I tried the cricket bowl idea but the wet frog sitting on top of them didn't work. So I put in about 20 pinheads on the dry paper towel running around the tank and its working great. Every day when the babies go to sleep on the pothos I lift out the entire plant with them sleeping on it , change out the paper towel and wipe out any dead crickets. I also check for poop and that is how I know they're eating. They've grown about a half inch in the last month. So try keeping it small and simple and look for poop. What goes in must come out.
