New Amazon milk frogs

[hereces]

Just picked up my first ever frogs, Two juvenile Amazon milk frogs.
I have them in an 18x18x24 exo terra viv.
Now some questions:
1. If I add crickets to the viv will the little guys find them ok? I'm a little worried the crickets may be hard for them to find with the large viv size and leaf litter.
2. When I dust the crickets with supplements will most of it come off before the frogs get chance to eat them?
3. Should I get a cricket bowl for them whilst they are young/

Thanks for your time.

I can't answer your question but I did want to say... thanks for the pics, they are so cool!

Many here use a bowl to put the crickets in. I add my straight to viv so make mine whites tree frogs and red eyes hunt them and they seem to eat well. I just end up with some loose crickets running around.

Thanks for the info and kind words Don, I'm really pleased with them.

I like and use Cricket bowls because it allows you to monitor what your frogs are eating. It also prevents the crickets from getting lost and then dying somewhere in the cage. I put mine near the water bowl so they're sure to see it. Great looking frogs by the way.

Thanks Cheri.
What type of bowl would be best for crickets? Won't they just jump out?

I tried a cereal bowl tonight and it works awesome. The crickets couldn't get ttraction to climb or jump out and the frogs piled right in to eat.

I'll do this from now on to try and reduce the amount of substrate my frogs seem to eat.

I have a trio too! Their colors full and fade a bit with age. And I had a"runt" as well. He wouldn't eat in front of me at all. The others would though do I became concerned. About a month, maybe more he grew alot and got so bold. He now has found his own hide spot for the day and comes out to eat. Still won't with me watching lol

Is he still alert and active at night? I was told to check how clear his eyes are as well. To make sure they were not cloudy.
I think he will be fine.

Ps it did take my milks a little bit to adjust to the food bowl. I use a little rubbermaid container for a lunchbox that's divided into thirds. 1/3 & 2/3. The littlest is lsat to arrive and ends up with his own slot.

I hope this is helpful.

Thanks for the help Garrett.
The little guy is definitely active at night and it's eyes are very clear, The colours are just very dull compared to the others.
I've had it since Early December and hope that it puts on some weight soon, I guess time will tell.

He wasn't interested in the wax worms last night, Hopefully he'll take some crickets later.
