    Also, I'm not sure if Eric has lived in both Vancouver area and Montreal as I have (well Victoria and Montreal for me) so he might not realize that Vancouver only has pretend cold. I've let my crickets drop to 4 or 5C and they still live, they don't do a lot of breeding at this point, but they stayed alive. He's spot on about the cricket size you want though. Your frog probably won't be able to eat them once they are at the chirping stage, so get the smaller ones. You'll only hit the chirping stage if you plan to breed them.
    HAHA! Good point. I know our weather here is crazy! My wife Sara lived in Victoria and loved it! And it is indeed a Hyla cinerea (AGTF for the lazy like me). And you are right about the size of crickets. Mine will not eat anything bigger than a 2-3 week crickets.

    Just read your comment to Sara and she laughed. It's currently 3 degrees this morning in Montreal, and she said it's about as cold as it gets all year in BC.

    They end up changing colours depending on many factor: surroundings, humidity, stress. In most cases, it's nothing to stress about.

    The colour change is normal as Eric noted. Mine is generally some shade of green in the day and can head to a dark olive brown at night. In my albums you can find one for my American Green treefrog and a few of the shades I've seen him in.

    Make sure that the sun isn't capable of heating his vivarium up to unhappy levels.

    Ha! That's about the lower limit for the lower mainland and Victoria, where it's always shorts season. I've also done some living in Prince George, BC, which knows cold even better than Montreal does
