Feeding baby RETF

[Chaser]

Is there a substitute for fruit flies? What else can i feed him ?

How big is your baby?

You can feed the little guy tiny crickets. They sell them small, or even in pinhead sizes if the little guy is TOO little. XD;

How long have you had him? Maybe he's just not ready to eat yet?

Please note that I have not tried this, they are just some ideas that popped into my help:
Newly hatched crickets or pinheads should be small enough for young red eyes, I belive.
Now, I might be misstaken here, but bean beattles seem like a good choice. They are small and probably the easiest feeder to breed. They are excellent food for smaller lizards.
Before trying bettles, get someone to confirm or say against it, as I have not tried it myself.

Okay i have a small baby grasshopper and put it in his tank he hasn't eaten for 2 days i got him 2 days ago... The grasshopper is as long as his head.... i dont know why he wont eat.

i have two baby Red eyes, and i feed them little crickets. You just gotta find the right size

If he is a true baby you need to get some fruit flies right away. And then order true pin head crickets. A baby is not going to last that long without food. The food items can't be any larger than the width between his eyes. Im surprised a breeder sold you a frog without making sure you could feed it.

Okay i just ordered 1/8 size crickets online.... its over night shipping too! so it should be here Friday!!! Wish me luck with my new frog!

Also make sure you note that if you only got him two days ago he might not be ready to eat. The stress from traveling and being introduced to a new environment may have him a little scared. I suggest keeping the tank covered up with some paper of towels, keeping it dark and quiet and placing appropriately sized food items in there every once in a while, don't let him eat anything that won't fit in his mouth. Also, the more you check on him the more stressed out he'll be. If you stay calm and only check on him once in a while, chances are he'll come out and eat. Just be patient and don't try to force him, that's the worst thing you could do.

Go out and get some fruit flies and pin head crickets right away and don't feed your frog anything that has been acquired outside in the wild, only captive cultured crickets or flies.

Give him some time and relax.
