Frog on the wall

OK I have a dendrobates leucomelas and he is allways on the back wall of my tank and I am now feeding him pinhead crickets and I am worried that he is not going to see them and eat them? Should I be concerned that he is up there and not on the ground? What do you suggest?

Tell us how big the tank and the leuc are. How long have you had the little guy/gal? How old/big is the leuc?

Leucs are somewhat known for climbing. what percentage of the day would you say he spends on the wall??


Id be concerned about using crickets . I use them but watch till all are eaten . I only feed my subadult adult D. Tinctorius BlueSips & my Adult D. Azureus them & that is about once a week . I put 4 in the tank & watch for about 5-6 mins "by this time the crickets are eaten " then I put 4 more in and watch then on to the next tank. The problem is that if the crickets dont get eaten they will get bigger & if they get big enough they will harrass the frogs & stress them out. Also I have seem them eat fruit flies


Hope this helps

He spends almost 99% of the day on the wall for what I can see this started 2 days ago he is little very young not too sure I got him at the NARBC I am just worried that he will not go down to eat.

all my Leuc like to sleep on top corner of the tank.when i feeding them ,they always come down to feed.just watch them carefully.as long they don't loss the weight.i wouldn't worry about it.

So just leave him there and feed him and he should come down? What happens if I feed him and I do not see him come down beacuse he seems to really like the top or back wall of the tank. I am worried :cry:

As long as he has a bit of a potbelly he's fine. Even if you don't see him eating, as long as he has some weight on him he should be fine.
