    Default Re: Whites tree frog - no idea what I am doing

    Thanks

    I have almost finished setting it up now, will post a photo when it's done

    I am struggling to find food that is small enough, I have put some fruit out to get fruitflies, but no luck so far. When I ask for baby crickets in the pet store they just show me their 'small crickets' which are too big. Someone said I could buy large crickets and breed them myself, but that would take weeks and I need food now...

    But for future reference, do you have a link to where it explains how to breed crickets?

    Thanks

    Please post photos of frog and tank, it's always nice to see what other people have done for their frogs. ^ ^

    And you said your frog is 1 cm long from head to vent? That sounds awfully small for a baby White's. The one I have now is only a few weeks old and already about an inch long, the small crickets are good for him to eat.

    As long as you feel like the frog can fit the food into it's mouth I think it would be ok to eat, but if you really want to find smaller foods I believe fruit flies can be bought in store or you can start a culture. There's a link for fruit fly culturing off to the left here or I'm sure you can find some useful recipes online.

    You should post a picture of the frog next to something as a reference for size, right now I'm having trouble picturing it not being able to eat small crickets. The ones I feed my little guy are tiny, some are so small I can barely tell they're there. XD And White's are voracious eaters, as long as they can fit it in their mouth, I'm sure they'll go for it.
