I own three Pacific Tree Frogs. I know I should've asked this questions before. I made a mistake that I'm trying to correct. I can see a bit of bone outline on the backs of my young froglets. I realize now that I haven't been feeding them enough.

The oldest (almost 1/2" at almost 1 month) is very lively when he eats, and is otherwise hiding in the center of my giant Tillandsia warming up in the light. He has plumped up from where I had him, but shows a tiny bit of bone outline on the lower back.

How much should I be feeding him/her daily?

The next oldest (almost 1/3" at two to three weeks) is less lively than his buddies and has plumped up a tiny bit today. He also shows a tiny bit of bone outline on the lower back. He likes to stalk his pray and crawl around behind it for a while before pouncing, so he does need a bit more food. He will eat when he sees food, but doesn't make an effort to jump

How much should I be feeding him/her daily?

The youngest (less than 1/4" after a week out of the water) just started eating a few days ago once he finished absorbing his tail. He is outgoing and is eating well. I'm trying to keep him from loosing too much weight.

I can't really feed the frogs directly because I always squish the pinheads. What is a safe number of pinheads to put in the viv each day? The pinheads I feed them are at least 1/16" each, not counting antennae. My vivarium has a screen cover and I don't want fruit flies crawling out. Plus I don't want FF cultures in my room, so I'm sticking to pinheads for now.

I have the frogs in an 8g tank, which is their permanent tank. They aren't actually tree frogs. They were recently reclassified. They chill near the edge of ponds/lakes and they rarely climb high. Mine sit on the driftwood, hide in the tillandsias, and play in the leaf litter. I have no problems getting them to come out and eat. Whenever I put crickets in the tank they start hopping around and eating them. I have two springtail cultures that I'll start to seed my viv with today. I don't think my frogs would notice them since they are so small. Hopefully they won't get a mouth of dirt.
