I was on vacation after Christmas for nine days and the two days before my departure, I'd been scratching my head on how I could keep my frog from starving to death... and my girlfriend's idea popped up -- use duct tape to tape the whole insect box on the wall of the aquarium and keep a small opening so that the crickets can climb out onto the grassy area but keeping the frog from going in for a feast. Also, I wrapped the inside of the box with grocery bag paper so that the movement of the crickets won't trigger the frog to knock down the box into the water. Who knows, a desperate frog may take drastic action to survive... better be safe than sorry.
Turned out it was a successful execution. I was back Sunday and the frog was still happy moving around, no sign of stress or hunger. How many crickets were left in the box? One.

I saw Froggie on Friday night 1/2/08. The cricket box that Lewis set up was holding up well inside the tank (very impressive). I bought more crickets on Saturday 1/3/08 for Froggie. It ate only one and wasn't even hungry enough to go hunting for more food. Apparently, Froggie was so well taken care of that it didn't miss us much while both of us were gone.
