    That makes it easy. She is in a ten gallon. I'll try it and see what she does.

    Yeah, keep the tank sparse so the frog will be easier to monitor. Im doing this with my young white's who are being fed melo's and bean beetles (which are about 1/4 inch). The beetles are my substitute for hydei. Look for feces as a sign of feeding.

    Also, be sure to use a supplement during feeding for young frogs to avoid deficiency issues later.

    These are two of the most important things when monitoring new baby frogs. If they're pooping and it's a good consistency then you have a healthy eating frog. A lot of times we don't have all night to sit around and stare at our frogs and especially if they're new and babies you really don't want to be doing that anyways because all it will do is stress them out. Cover up three sides of the tank...keep it pitch black at night and leave your frog with her baby crickets completely alone. In the morning while she is asleep you can lift out the Pothos that she is sleeping on, clean up your paper towel, do a cricket head count and look for frog poop. This is a stress free approach that works and it keeps the tank very clean. You won't have to worry about bacterial infections because everything is cleaned each day. And it will only take a few minutes. Happy frogs will sleep on the plant so you won't have to disturb their sleep. She'll fatten up and grow quickly. Feed her as much as she'll eat every night. You don't have to worry about Red Eyes overeating...they don't really get obese unlike some other frogs. Make sure the crickets are no bigger than the distance between her eyes. I keep my baby Red Eyes around 70% humidity with good ventilation on top. They will tend to sleep on the top leaves and underneath them. Good luck with her and post some pictures of her when she is all settled in.
