We have two fire belly toads and we just gave them crickets for the first time last week. They normally eat mealworms.

Anyway, are the cricket you have too big for the frogs to handle?

We bought the really small crickets and my son puts the frogs (one at a time) in the container that one of the frogs came home from the pet store in (clear plastic with a hole in the top) with two or three small crickets and the frog ate all three of them.

They sell large crickets too but they were just to big for those little frogs. Try getting the smaller crickets and see how they do with those.

Our frogs are in a 10 gallon tank with fish tank rocks, decorating little trees, a couple of large rocks for them to land on and some water for them to play and swim in. If the crickets go into the water they will die and once the cricket is dead, the frog will not eat it.

That is why he takes the frogs out of the tank and put it into the container so they each can eat and the crickets don't go to waste.

When they are fed the meal worms, he just puts the worms into a small little dish (for frogs) they will go in the dish and take out a worm and they eat it.

Hope this helps you out.
