i picked up six of these at the midwest herp symposium. i have two males and four females. they are little tiny guys barely an inch. i got them 1/8" crickets and fruit flys. they dont seem to interested in the crickets but a few went after the fruit flys. they are all living in a 5 gallon aquarium with some bark in the corner and the rest is paper towel. does anyone have any tips on them?

Do you know the Genus/species on those?
The common name sounds familar but if memory serves there are a few different species of foam/nest frogs.

WHOA!
Put the brakes on..........5 gallons for 6 frogs? Even if they are barely an inch, they EACH need 5 gallons. Just concentrate on having these guys live. All small frogs eat fruit flies, and those are good for them. You need a few branches, water bowl, bedding,etc. Just look the name upo in google search to find specific info. I have never kept this species, but many others. Hope I helped

ok i understand your consern on the small caging but its only so that i can easily observe the feeding and pooping of these little guys until i know they are all gonna be ok. the fruit fly thing didnt work they woruldnt even pay attention to them so i picked up somt 1/4" crickets at work and they went nuts. i threw about 40 in and the ate almost half. so as soon as i move my boas (with in three weeks) they are getting a 29 gallon tank full of live plants and the such when i know what their natural enviroment is like. just thought id let everyone know.
