    You said you are putting crickets in a bowl are they alive?

    Frogs generally wont eat dead or non moveing prey. If the crickets arent moveing around even mine wont touch them.

    I would have never even thought to ask that! Good question though!

    Also make sure the crickets are small enough for him to munch down.

    Will the frog not eat the crickets if they are too big?

    As a general rule, the crickets shouldnt be longer than the space between the eyes. Some aggressive frogs will still try to take down a bigger cricket than they should (and possibly choke and die) but that isn't something you would want happening. Less aggressive frogs will only go after a meal that is easy for them to take down.

    Awesome. He'll come around. Takes time to get use to you, new sounds, and his new home.
    Since he hasn't had someone dedicated to just him before, it will just take time to trust you.

    If he ate a few just add more tomorrow evening and keep in mind he may not eat them for a few days, so remove them in the morning and put them back in every evening.
