How many crickets should I feed my tree frog?
•Green tree frogs are generally good eaters and feed exclusively on insects. •Crickets can make up the bulk of the diet. •Crickets and other food insects should be gut loaded (fed nutritious foods before feeding them to the frogs). For more on dealing with crickets as prey see “Raising Crickets for Food.” •In addition to gut loading, the crickets should be dusted with a calcium and multivitamin supplement a couple of times a week. •Fruit flies, houseflies, moths and other insects can also be fed if available. •Tree frogs will likely eat more in the spring and summer months than in the winter. Smaller frogs should be fed daily, while larger frogs can be fed daily or every other day, using body condition as a guide (i.e. if getting obese, cut down the feedings).
