Put your baby gray tree frogs into their tank as soon as you get home and give them a day to get used to the new environment before you try to feed them. They probably won't want to eat anything until they are settled.

Feed gray tree frogs by dropping the food into their enclosure. The best food for gray tree frogs is crickets, though you can also use flies, gnats and meal worms. Put five to six crickets into the cage per frog, and let the frogs catch their own food. Feed them every couple of days.

Add a vitamin supplement powder to the frogs' food once a week. Vitamin supplement powder is available at pet stores. Sprinkle the vitamin powder into the bag that the crickets come in, and shake it up until the crickets are coated with the powder. Drop the coated crickets into the frog tank for consumption.

I don't think putting that many in is a good idea, you don't want heaps of dead crickets around. Find crickets that are slightly shorter than the width between your frogs eyes and feed maybe 3-4 every 3 days, hold it out with tongs in front of them to make sure they are eating.
