Hey, I’ve had a few frogs in my days, so I suppose I can give you a few pointers (I currently own a Pacman Frog

First off, don’t use the 10gal tank yet, esp if they just went through their metamorphosis. You can find a small terrarium at your local pet store (generally rectangular, have very colorful plastic ventilated tops, cant recall what there called....vivariums?). A froglet will have a much harder time finding its food in a 10gal, so its going to be cheaper and easier to keep them both in a small 1.5-2gal vivarium (smaller, if its easier). Sphagnum moss is good when your frogs are big enough to eat small crickets. But for now, you might want to consider just a layer of moist paper towel (I know it’s not pretty, but it’s easier to take care of them, and easier to clean). Most of the vivariums will come with a small light on the top, and you can keep your frogs in the vivarium until they are eating normal sized crickets. For now you’re all set with fruit flies and pinhead crickets.
Fruit flies are incredibly easy to raise. I’m presuming you already know how to raise them(?) Pinhead crickets can generally be bought offline, try:

www.skipio.com for some maggots, although gross, they make an excellent food source for froglets
Pacific Tree frogs are incredibly tame; I used to own two that would eat crickets out of my hand. Although this is cool, it can lead to overfeeding if you’re not careful.
Just a quick question: is your 10gal vertical or horizontal? Generally Tree frogs do best in a vertical tank, but vertical tanks are harder to clean, so if you have a horizontal you’ll be fine.
any questions you might have id be happy to answer, i love frogs
Cool little frogs, by the way. And good luck, they're a blast!
