Hi Corey! How is Lillypad doing? These relapses can happen since kidney damage is irreparable :( .
Sorry for late reply :( . Yes, you can sterilize soil by baking for 1 hour at 200F (same as branches and leaves) and letting slowly cool down in oven overnight :) .

Good question; myself would pick up schedule next time frog eats :) !
Yes, I use a tall plastic cup (32 oz. like those used to culture fruit flies). Add a bit of supplement and shake gently, then feed crickets to frogs :) .
You don't replace them. When monthly cleaning enclosure can rinse them in 80F dechlorinated tap bath and reuse as needed :) .
Very sorry for Chubby's death Brian :( ! Think he lived a long nice life with you. Recommend once you get over mourning, get another one. Mine is young, probably a year or so male called Prince. ...
Good luck and let us know results. Right now I'm thinking probable internal infection, maybe caused by feeding accident injury.
If aquarium parameters are those required for frog and it eats and acts normal it should be fine. Just feed until belly starts to bulge out a bit and that should be good :) .
Hello and welcome to FF! Here is a care article for one of their species: Frog Forum - Imitating Dart Frog, Ranitomeya imitator / Dendrobates imitator (Schulte, 1986) - Care and Breeding. Would...
Hello and welcome to FF :) !
So it's swollen more on left side :eek:. Does it moves like waves when you touch it? Is there any evidence of edema on right rear leg?
This is a good care sheet for them: http://www.frogforum.net/care-sheet-proposals/22561-care-sheet-african-dwarf-frog.html. Myself would add quality (Hikari, Sera, etc.) dry food to diet too; but...
If the edema is localized around rear legs and light touch result in a wave like skin movement; it's probably Kidney/Lymph Heart damage from chronic exposure to low temps :( .
Lija: I travelled once in Fall with ABF, a Budgett, and 3 IMIs. Smuggling them in and out of hotel was funny. The ABF was in 10G with all gear set-up and they also spent a week at my Sisters...
What medication are you using? Some are OK; but would not use copper based ones with frogs or any scaleless fish in tank :eek: .
Hello and welcome to FF :) !
Only issue in there is the gaps in between large pebbles will let food and debris fall in and become hard to get at during water changes :eek: .
It will be fine as long as car heater can keep vehicle around 27-28C and you can stand the heat. Careful driving drowsy with heat. IRT stops; vehicle will cool down very fast if you go to rest room...
Get yourself a Flukers or similar dome with built in dimmer and a 60 watt Ceramic Heat Emitter (good for 5-10G tank). Cover screen top with aluminum foil, trace dome edge with Sharpie marker and...
Congrats, looks nice bigapplause !
An idea for the lump charcoal smashing if you have access to big tire truck or 4x4. Get a new cheap pillow case; fill around 1/3-1/2 full and tie end. Drive slowly back and forth over it on hard...
Visit your Fish and Wildlife or similar state regulating webpage and there will be the laws regulating your state and contact info to ask them :) .
Congrats Eli bigapplause !
You mean leaves as in those dry ones used in dart vivariums? If so; they won't hurt the frog. Get big strong magnolia leaves from one of forum sellers (Josh Frogs or NeHerp for example).
