Thanks Frank,
I had pretty much decided to not feed a steady diet of mice, just roaches and worms. Now, Ill add in the fish you spoke of and see where that takes us. What kind of fish do you recommend?

Went out and bought some of Zoomeds jumbo Can o' Grasshoppers, to try. Nice size feeders. About 2 inches plus, but little can, only 1.2 oz or 16(?) grasshoppers. It lasted me two days with 3 juvenile frogs. I would need the bonus pounder pack to even get started!!

Did they like them Jeff? I thought about doing that with Chubbz. I remember John(Clare) saying something about them being less nutritious since they're cooked(in the can).

[onedge30]

Kevin, yea, they did like them. But again, unless I can get quantity - even cost is high. They are 'juicy' in the can!

Chubbz would eat the whole can for a snack!

I'm going to try the fresh water fishes. I have to drive very far to get live crickets. But minnows, wax worms, and nightcrawlers are avalible year round since I live in a fishing vacation spot. I do drive 80 miles round trip to get 100 crix for month. Trying to breed them. We'll see bout that. But--these fish are bread for fishing purposes (but seem healthier that Petco's) and are clean of disease. So this article helped quite a bit-- I want my whites to be BIG

Whites are tree frogs. Think what they would eat. I don't think fish would be very high on the list. I would think insects(roaches, crickets, mealworms) would be first. I would only use fish for less than 20% of the overall diet. What about ordering crickets or giant mealworms? They can be delivered to your door, cheaply. I can keep giant mealworms in a 5 gal bucket for months.

you can ordered crickets like 1thousand online for cheaper then it prolly would be to drive 80miles just fyi and easier to breed that amount
