My fantasy FINALLY arrived

Sphagnum moss!!! aaahhhh! Moss can cause impaction. It safer to use eco earth or other coconut fiber.

Nice frog though. Fantasies are evil looking.

Congrats on receiving your frog alive and well! Yes, if you feed it in there and frogs ingests the moss substrate it could be bad for it. Ground coconut fiber like Plantation Soil, Eco Earth, etc. is a much better substrate since frog can pass it through digestive tract without problems.

Yea, i know the moss is bad, but i had a brick so i used it first, im going to get coconut fiber substrate after christmas. for now im going to feed him in a seperate container with moist paper towels.

Congrats on the little guy/girl. He/she is very cute. It would be best for you to feed in a seperate container. Feeding in his home could cause impaction as was stated above. I'm glad you have decided to feed in a seperate container.

Just adorable.
Congratulations !
He/She looks so little on the moss.
Measurements ?
Lynn

It looks almost like Chum Chum exept for the little green on the top of his head nice congrats !!!

He/she is a little less then a quarter... and its alredy eating small crickets...

MORE PHOTOS

I love his markings, especially the patterns on his face and the bold markings on his back . Very cool!

Here is a picture of my Chomper

Great looking frog Heather, how old is he? Fantastic markings on him

Cover 3 sides of the tank and get him off that moss ASAP. Switch the substrate to eco earth about an inch deep.

what do you mean cover three sides, and im not feeding him in the tank, when christmas rolls around im going to pick up some coconut fiber bedding.

Your frog is adorable!! I want to pinch his cheeks!!

lol, he is warming up to his new home great...

It reduces stress if you cover 3 sides of your frogs enclosure with some kind of background to make them feel more secure. Its always a good idea to do this.

i have the back of the tank painted black and his tank is in a closet that i use to keep all my aquarium supplies. I will probable paint the other 2 sides when I clean the tank next.

If you have a UTH on one side of the tank you shouldn't have to paint that side as the UTH will provide the third background.

no, the UTH is under the tank on one side. so i will just paint both... its alright, i have plenty of spray paint

You need to remove the UTH from the bottom of the tank very carefully and replace it on the side of the tank opposite the water dish. These are burrowing frogs. Your frog may burrow over the UTH and become burned by the glass. Plus they burrow to cool off. Your frog won't understand why it can't cool off when it burrows in that area and it will become overheated and possibly die.
