How often to feed

[isu712]

Would it work to throw in a few extra crickets before I leave for a week and let the frog eat them throughout the week.

i fed a fussy mouse to my adult surinam horned frog every ten days.depend at the size of your frog.i guess feed them a pinky for baby pacman before you leave for a trip.seven to ten should be ok.i don't reconmmand put extra crickets in your tank.they might attack your frog at night.

Cool, thanks for the idea. I'll just have to figure out a way to keep the humidity up and I should be good to go.

I agree with the wise jjmorton13, as I leave mine for weekends all of the time.

As far as leaving crickets in the enclosure, I would not. Extra prey items can both stress and injury your new friend (not to mention it is not needed for just a couple of days away).

Thanks for all the replies everyone, but I decided to go with fire-bellied toads as my first foray into amphibians.
