I have 2 lights on my future RETF tank right now. One is the cfl's on a timer. So it goes on at 7am and off at 7pm. I also have an LED strip, as I'm trying to encourage my new plants to root well and get some growth. The LED is not on a timer as it has a "touch" switch, so it, unfortunately, does not work with a timer. I have the 10 gallon RETF quarantine tank sitting side by side with their future home. Tonight I forgot to turn off the LED at 7 like I normally do. So at 9 pm, I ...

I put small dubias in with them the first two nights. The bigger of the two showed interest, but when I awoke, there were still 6 small dubias in the bowl.

Tonight I was surprised, at 8 pm, before it was even pitch dark, the bigger frog was awake. Last night, they were both awake and carefully watching me at 9 pm. Tonight I was surprised that at 10:30, the little guy ...

Any of you that were following this blog, I decided to give my sad update.

I ended up successfully raising all of my peeper froglets into adulthood. I had them for a little over a year. I had 3 males and 4 females. Then, suddenly, they all started dying off. I have no idea what happened at that time, I hadn't changed anything in the tank or with their diet or vitamins, lightbulbs, temps and humidity were all the same and even.

It started with two of them dead one morning, ...
