Hoping to get a terrarium....

[spooky]

I got some good news today! My gas company have over-charged me £120 over the past few months and re-paid the money into my account! Soooo, I'm going to treat myself (and my frogs!) to a terrarium. Am looking at ebay shops and there seem to be a few bargains out there. I'm just wondering what size to get. I have 2 baby treefrogs, and want to make sure that if I do get a terrarium, I'll get one thats big enough to house them both as adults. I'm aware that it's not a good idea to get a huge one at the moment as they'll have trouble catching their food, but thought I could use the tank they're in now as a dining room, put them in there every evening (or less frequent as they grow!) for a good feed
Soooo (sorry for the essay!) would a 40x40x40cm terrarium be ok? Or should I get the next size up/down?
Thanks for reading!!!!!

I would go bigger.

Would they be ok to go into it now? Don't want them to get lost! Or starve! Hehe. My main concern with a bigger terrarium at the moment is feeding, but I'm wondering if using their current home for feeding time would be ok?

[Kurt]

Yes, and yes. Think about this, in the wild they still manage to find food and thats a much larger space than you or I can ever provide. So I wouldn't worry about them starving to death in a large terrarium.

Thank you Kurt To be honest, the whole 'too much space' had never occured to me until the guy in the pet shop said the frogs would starve in a too big terrarium! Did think at the time that frogs in the wild have no problems, but didn't say anything to the guy. After all, he works with frogs, I don't

I have decided with my two to take them out to feed them in a plastic tub. This is partly so they can get used to being handled, partly so that I can ensure they're actually eating and also because I'm going to use a mainly aquatic tank for them and then I don't get any drowned crickets.

YES, I HAVE TREE FROGS!
