When should baby Whites eat?

[DonLisk]

My littlest Whites would inhale full size crickets that looked almost as big as him. I'd offer small and large crickets to the four I ave and the smallest one never had a problem, knock on wood.

Its better to give them springtails or fruit flies(the ones that cant fly).
They also need variety in their food so you should sprinkle some vitamins and calcium on their food (Rep-cal or something like that).

Thats hectic. I'll keep feeding them different sized bugs and see how they go.

Also Don, what is your take on the color of the frogs? I've noticed all of the white's I'm keeping are dark brown, I've managed to find a little info on color changes, but still havent got a straight answer. I live off the coast on a suburban island, and it's crazy humid right now (summer) so this might have something to do with it. They don't seem stressed as they are always eating and are reasonably active. If you've got any info on this it would be great.

I'm not an expert on this but they will probably change colors as they get older.

With babies you shouldn't have to worry about them overeating just yet. Whites can eat pretty large prey so if you kept with the small size crickets that should work. Try different size prey until you figure out what they prefer. Sometimes if food is too big they wont touch it but also if its too small they wont like it as well. Also new babies don't eat when they are absorbing their tails.

Yeah man, they won't stop eating now hah, and they grow so quick.

And yeah I'm about an hour away from the flood zone so it's been all good, pretty hectic but, some of my family were right in it, had their cars washed away n stuff. A lot of homes lost man but i recently heard that over 500 people have died in brazil from floods as well which is terrible.
Mother nature in full force mate.
