    Yea but kittykat is going to be looking at a hefty bill if she purchases the top of line stuff from batali + giada. I think if she went with the Boiardi method and fed her spaghetti right with garlic, parmessan and sum light alfredo her frogs will be quite satisfied

    Well she can always just start out with baby prunes, since they are cheaper and easier to breed.

    I've heard how bad Crickets stink. I wanted to maybe breed the worms.
    So... Crickets, SilkWorms, and Night Crawlers are good for regular feedings? And ButterWorms, WaxWorms, and HornWorms are good for treats and to help fatten them up?

    Also, What size of these worms/crickets would my FBT's need?

    So, my boyfriend went without me and got pinhead crickets. I thought they could eat the ones a tad bit bigger then that but he didn't think to ask. How many do I need to feed per FBT, since they are so tiny? I Have Five.

    This is the food/gutload I got for the crickets:
    Fluker's Orange Cube Complete Cricket Diet - Food - Reptile - PetSmart

    Is this good or do you guys recommend something else?

    Yep! I don't think hornworms are good for putting on weight though. I think they have a good amount of nutrition, but if fed too much can cause diarrhea.
    Food items should be no larger than the length between the frog's eyes.
    As for how much to feed, since they are thin, I would give them as much as they will eat in 10 minutes.
    I haven't used the fluker's cricket diet but it should be fine. I gut load with orange slices, carrot slices, and a cricket gut load I got from Josh's Frogs. I think they like romaine lettuce too.
