[QUOTE="Alyssa Martin, post: 141051, member: 28256"] In the short few hours that I've had mine I've definitely noticed that! Mine saw the crickets leg move and struck, the cricket hadn't even been walking. It was both amazing and incredible he could find his food so quickly! I think I will avoid the exo terra's then, as after I looked at mine (I have a Whites Tree Frog in a large one) I noticed there was places to escape especially at his small size. I read an article stating that if they aren't given at least a square foot of space they tend to get ill. Is this something I need to be worried about? If this is a concern I could setup my old 10 gallon tank, but the lid has huge holes so I would have to modify that. He looks pretty small in the 36 oz jar so I'm hoping that's ok for now, if not I can release him back into the house. I was planing on feeding every 2-3 days for sure, he was super hungry when I feed him, so I may do every 2 days until he's looking nice and healthy. That's good to know about the spraying, I will do that on feeding days if that is ok. When I upgrade his tank I will include a water bowl, I need to find a small cap for his current cage at present. But I do have some larger ones laying about. [/QUOTE]
