I would feed them everyday, don't know how important it is but at still a fairly young age I vote for everyday.

We have 7 month old Leucs and feed twice daily(smaller amounts). These guys are little piggies. That's all they do is eat eat eat. None of them are overweight.

I would personally feed them everyday until they are around 12 months old.

I prefer to feed all my frogs daily and the youngsters a couple of times a day with smaller feedings. Don't leave too many flies in the viv it can be annoying to the frogs.

Make sure you have a way to observe your babies eat to make sure they are actually eating

I've always tried to feed mine every day. But sometimes I'm just not at home when the lights are on. If they miss a day or two _on occasion_ then I doubt it's anything to worry about. Nevertheless, if you can I recommend every day.

thanks guys i was checking too see how many flies were in the tank and decided whether or not to addmore for the first few days. I now feed once a day but am not sure how many flies to give them. Im jjust tipping some in to dust and guessing. I would say maybe 20 flies. Is this enough or too much?

I feed 15-20 per frog. In reality its probably more than that. In my experience the leucs are like bottomless pits. I just keep an eye on their body mass and decide how many to add, in this case I would err on the side of a few more.
