Well, Besides the fish I love, I have recently acquired a new pet, a female grey or Copes grey tree frog, she is perfectly healthy and is doing well in her new home, soon to be upgraded, I have had her for around six months.

So, here is my problem, I have tried crickets, beetles and meal worms, but the only thing I can get her to eat are the moths and cucumber beetles I catch myself off of the front porch light at night, living in a rural area, I always check to make sure none of the local farms have been crop dusted, so there should not be pesticides in them, and she has been eating them and growing since around a week after I got her. but, I would like to have a more stable food supply to depend on, and moths getting into the water dish make a huge mess, I believe that this problem has stemmed from catching a wild frog, instead of buying one, and I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? and if so, how to correct it? would she eat earth worms, if I gave them to her?

You see, the reason I caught a wild frog, this particular frog was living in my grandparents pool filter. in highly chlorinated water, and eating all the dead bugs that washed in to the filter, so maybe this frog just has a screw loose :screwy: anyway, it started getting colder here, and worried for the frog, my grandparents caught it and asked if I had a tank I could put it in, so I kep it in an open terrarium I havd at the time, and ive had her eversince, she seems happy, and she even started croking the other day, it was the coolest thing I have ever heard :) thanks in advance for any help to my problem, and since I know that this issue will show up here some where, yes, I have checked my state and local laws, and this is not illegal :)
 
Well I would find some dead bugs and try those. Maybe drown the bugs in its water bowl. I know almost nothing about frogs so this is just a shoot in the dark
