Hi all! I'm really new to the frog-loving life, but I don't think I've quite got the hang of things yet. I have a 12 x 12 x 18 enclosure, with frog-friendly plants and pillow moss, which I bought from the frog supplier. I have a WTF, a Vietnam Blue, and a Big Eyed Tree Frog and they all keep their own hiding spots, no one is fighting. I have a full spectrum light on during day hours for the plants.

Problem: I'm not quite sure the Big Eye is eating very well. He hates to be handled, so I've just been tossing in a few crickets just before dark (so they know they're in there), which of course disappear, but probably into the substrate... I've even tried dubia roaches. Food is no bigger than his forehead. The WTF and Blue are keeping their figures, but the Big Eye looks thin to me. I tried "cup feeding" yesterday but all he was worried about was getting out.

Does anyone have any suggestions? The info on the internet is sparce. Please help! Thanks!
