Good frogs for a beginner

whilst i'm asking stupid questions, how do you feed the crickets to them without the crickets escaping across the whole house? coz im guessing the second i open the tub they will try to jump out? Also what size crickets would fire bellies eat?

Note, I am brand new to all this too, so I'm speaking from no experience. Here is what I plan on using to hold my crickets to assist with feeding.

I am also looking at Firebelly toads for my 4 year old daughter.

From the reading Ive done, they are social animals that get depressed if they are alone. At least 2 is a must. To be safe don't put more than 2-3 in a 10g or 4-5 in a 20g.

I plan on 3-4 in a 20g high. I just bought my tank at Petco's dollar a gallon sale yesterday. Unfortunately this was the last day of the sale.

Be very careful.

I feed my firebellies the quarter inch size crickets or whichever the pet store considers the small ones. Firebellies really are the best choice for kids. Small kids will get bored with a nocturnal tree frog.

my little sister got her new tank today so i can have mine back now, only taken 2 years lol. anyway its 30g, so my daughter can have that for her toads rather than the 10g we were going to use as im guessing the more space they have the happier they will be?

I just need to get a filter as that doesnt appear to have come back with it and i need to clean it because shes been keeping the worlds stinkiest turtle in it and work out where i can put it and i still have a month til her 3rd birthday

and best of all my mother in law hates the idea and says she'll stop visiting me if i get fire bellies as apparently frogs and toads are evil or some such rubbish
