Need help with what i should do please anyone

Ok I do believe they are baja califrnia treefrogs sub species of PCTF .I have raised them from eggs and feeding them was easy but now they are all morphing to frogs and am having a hard time trying to get them to eat. How long can they live without eating after there tails are gone. I've tried dead blood worms, 2 week old crickets dead but there to big and they won't eat lettuce anymore.Also they are starting to want to wonder away from where they have been living. I also have a small corgi puppy which loves to eat them so should I just let them try to make it on there own or maybe scoop them up and let them go by a creek bed. Will there instincts kick in and thell feed themselves or what. Someone anyone with any advice to anything in reference to any part of this post please respond please. Asap cuz I would really like for as many of these cute little frogs to live to adults. Thank you

Hi there, Frogs like live food. Fruit fly would be your best bet for food. Just Morphed frog-lets do take a few days to start eating..but when they do..theres not stopping them . Most pet shops stock them but you can culture your own also » Fruit Fly Culturing .

Im not sure about the laws where you are but here we dont suggest raising them and releasing. Some one maybe able to help you with that.

Agreed. Another way I feed tiny frogs is making a paper funnel and sticking it under a porchlight. There will be tons of little bugs to feed your treefrogs.

Thank you for the response I kinda figured that after morphing they might not be to hungry. And I thinking the same thing about them wanting live food but they are so small its hard to find food that small. But I also have the problem of live food flying away or just walking away .I didn't really think it al the way through when we started all this my 4 year old daughter wanted to hatch them and I was just as excited as she was just didn't think about 100s of them making it to frogdom or what we were going to do with them after wards. Do you think they can survive on there own I mean there instincts should kick in and they should try and catch there own food right? Cuz they are already starting to wonder off in to the bushes and grass.I live in california and the parent frogs were wild and the froglets have had a little help in the food department but are not really captive. Might you know where to find info about releasing them back in to the wild. And thank you so very much for your response if you have any more suggestions let me know once again thanks
