    Default Help with habitat

    Hi all,

    My son's two Leopard frogs did not die as I had feared, and they are currently acclimating to their new terrarium setup. To that end, I need some advice from you more experience frog owners.
    What I'm noticing is that they hide constantly.
    One of them (Jerry) likes to hide under the large rocks along the shallow water, and the other (Ed) likes to burrow under the cave, not in the cave, under it. I didn't realize they burrow! So with all the new supplies and what not, there is not much going on other than hiding, which is not the most exciting. Here's a photo, its dark b/c I had the lights out, and there is roughly half land/half water. any suggestions? I've seen some quite dynamic tank setups on google, and I do have the compressed cocohusk that I have not put in there. I'm wondering if I should return the screen lid and heat lamp and just use an aquarium light? I've read that if its too bright they will just hide, or are they just getting used to their new home?
    Here is what they have:
    A 10gal aquarium tank(I know recommendations are 20gal for 2 frogs, but space requirements don't allow it)
    Screen lid
    75watt "basking" lamp
    aquarium rock to build up the land
    cedar bedding chips for the land mass
    plastic aquarium "cave" for hiding and a plastic football decoration (also for aquariums)
    and about 7 inches deep of water

    Thanks!
