I just had a couple of froglets morphing over the past week, just wondering how well they would do without food for about 5 days. What should I feed them? I do not have access to the usual flightless fruit flies or pinhead crickets. Will ants or flying fruit flies work?
The frog species is native to my area's last few nature reserves. Please help, I'm quite desperate to ensure they are all in good health!

Flying fruitflies will land if you give them a reason. You could try putting a piece of fruit, perhaps part of an apple or bananna, in your terrarium on a dish. That might draw them in/down. Depending on the size of your froglets, and the size of earthworms you can find, you may have luck with chopped up earthworms. Typically, many species don't eat right after they morph.
Heres what you have to do. Grab a jar and put a banana in it. Wait for the fruit flies to get there and put the jar in the frog enclosure, the fruit flies would have layed eggs in the banana and after some time the fly larvae will become flies and will stay close to the banana in the jar. put a mesh or something to avoid te frogs to get in the jar but that can allow the flies to pass trough it. Froglet ussually dont eat while they are absorbing the t

I've never fed fruit flies before so I wonder which comes first, their stomach or the instinct for survival? The froglets have taken up the typical patterning of a copper cheeked frog just today, so I'm guessing that is a cue to start feeding them.
What you have to do is to feed them everyday until they accept the food

They still look rather alert, so I should quickly start feeding.
