that amount doesn't sound too bad. It will forage while you are not around.

the better way to judge is the size of the froglet. It's body, while resting should appear "chubby", with a round sized belly.

Are you using dustng suppliments?

Do you have springtails?

how old is the frog? what you might want to do is have a feeding station, leave a piece of fruit in the enclosure and dump enough flies to last all day.

Do you have any pictures to post? That would better allow us to tell if he looks healthy. It sounds like he is eating regularly. Is there a reason for your concern?
