What can I feed the GTF instaed of crickets??? Cna I feed earthwaorms,flys,moths. Can I feed it anything othen then what I posted??

Thx!!

Yep,

All of those food items should work fine. Crickets should make up the main part of the diet but every few feedings is nice to offer other insects. Pretty much any soft bodied invertabrate should work out. Flying insects like house flies and small moths are great. Earth worms, wax worms and small slugs can also all be offered occasionally. If you collect insects from outside just make sure that they were taken from an area that is free of pesticides or other harmful chemicals. Good luck,

Hey thx yo. Im new to frogs ^^. anyways my GTF is very unactive
??? is that normal b/c I just got it and it is in his/her's cage. But all its doing is digging in the coco husk and staying there. is it b/c its just new?? and is scared to go out yet?? plz help me!!!

Thx!!

For your first question;
Other then crickets(The easiest food source), you could uyse the occasional waxworm, earthworm, moth(Which most GTF's love), or softbodied insect.

For your second question;
Do you have plants in your cage, any hiding places for your GTF? AS in says in the name treefrog, they are aboreal sepcies, and need to be up, in trees, plants, bushes. Etc. Is your terrarium just plain cocanut husk? If he has no place to hide, he'll just go to digging under the cocunut husk.

Ps:Another reminder, you need a fresh dish of dechlorinated water in your tf's cage daily.

Oh, and most treefrogs are nocturnal, so there only active at night.During the day its, sleepy time.

Ok my setup is : Substrate: Coco husk,Water: a big bowl which takes mostly the half of the side., Climbing objects:a brach which leads to the bowl. , random stuff: moss. If the branch is to thin will it still climb it?

Can I use tree bark as hiding place?? And dont animals also digg in b/c it is cold?? is there a prob with my temprateure u think??? I use 40 watts night and day cycle.

Any probs??

Will this work?? Well since there is not round shaped bark around here can i cut a platic cup in half and stick some bark on it and also will it just hide in the cup?? with nothing on it??

Plz respond ASAP!!
THX!!
