i finally got my r ed eye tree frogs. they are both young, 7 weeks old. their breeder said they are eating fruit flies and pinheads. well i have a question about feeding them. since they are so small, and their food is so small, should i feed them from a container? that is what i did last night, but im not sure if they ate any. there were a lo of crickets in the container, and the guy said they'll only eat about 2-3 a night, so i didnt really notice if they ate or not.

just put the crickets in the tank and the frogs will find them, 3 crickets sounds like an awful small amount, i have a 12 week old about 1, 1 1/2 inches long i feed him mediums and he will eat 4 no prob, for your frogs i would put them in the tank with about 10-15 try not to have anything the crickets will hide under, and let the frogs do the rest. You will NEVER get them to eat in a seperate container, just leave them alone. i never hold back food from my red eyes.
