  1. Red Eyed Tree Frogs - Day 12

    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 ...

  2. Red Eyed Tree Frogs - Day 5

    My kids have yet to find out that there are some adorable little retfs in the house. I'm hoping to keep it that way until 2 weeks at least.

    Nicknaming them Lo (little one) and Bg (big guy) for now. Lo appears to have eaten last night. There is definitely a bit of belly on him this morning that wasn't there before.

  3. Red Eyed Tree Frogs - Day 4

    Last night, little one slept all night. Not once did he move or even open his eyes. Big guy was crazy hopping all over last night. When I woke up, 2 crickets were gone and big guy had a noticeably fuller belly. Little one hasn't eaten as of yet.

    Tonight by 9 pm, little one was awake and active While the bigger one was still asleep. Hopefully little one eats something tonight! Definitely looked interested in some crickets!

  4. Red Eyed Tree Frogs - Day 3

    I figured I would start writing in my blog instead of constantly updating the thread I posted.

    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 ...

  5. Raising Spring Peepers - Almost a win, ultimately a fail

    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, ...
