Crickets and baby frogs are my 10 Green Tree Frogs' favourite food and they are easily available in LFS. If you dont like the smell and the noise that emitted by crickets, try baby frogs(common frog) but i find this diet is too expensive as they need to eat at least SGD5 to SGD8 of baby frogs just for 1-2 days meals. I rather feed them crickets instead.

Yours White Tree Frog?

Try not to feed baby frogs, as you do not know what kind of disease they carry... best food choice for me are, super worms, meal worms and crickets, if you can find grasshoppers, locusts or silkworms would be good too... I remember I used to be able to find "silkworm" or "bamboo worm" at Serangoon north bird shops but not sure about now...

well, i have a pair of common feeder frogs and albino clawed frogs.

All foods lack enough nutrition unless you do ample vitamin and calcium dusting.

regarding vitamin and calcium dusting, here's what I do when I feed superworms or crickets to the frogs > I catch them with my thongs or long plant tweezers and dip them in some water (prefably water from their tank) and then I dip them back into some calcium + vitamin powder and then I feed them 1 by 1 to the frogs, making sure the frogs eat the vitamin/calcium powdered worms/crickets...

I wish can do this. they seem to refuse eating from tweezers after moving in to their new bigger tank. but they still hunt though.

Still waiting for my vitamins to arrive! haiz.

now feeding crickets+calcium every few days.

Guys

alamak, i should buy vitamins/calcium supplement for my green critters from KL lah.But i know those supplements are mean for reptiles and not too sure for my critters
Please advice me where to get them locally? petmart?

so far i have seen calcium only.

tetrafauna's Reptocal in c328 ( now no stock ) and i think is exo terra calcium+D3 and azoo calcium in KnK aquarium at tampines.

I have yet to come across multivitamins here.

i ordered one from ebay but dont know when i will be able to get hold of it haha.
