Cleaning

[hophappygirl]

I cleaned out my frogs terranium today, i usually clean it out every three months or when it starts to look gross. Today i was reading the package on the cocunut fiber stuff and it said to clean it out every month. i clean out waste and stuff and I know it just might be saying once a month so I buy more cocunut husk fiber, but I just wanted to be sure. How often does everyone else clean their terranium. (I only have 1 frog so it doesn't get really messy.)

I clean my wtf tank every 4 days. I spot clean and change water.the fir bark last longer. I rinse it with dechlorinated water and use it again.

My RETF terrarium gets misted twice daily and wiped down weekly. I clean any visible feces and dead crickets daily. Her water bowl is rinsed and refilled daily. The waterfall has a filter and pads are changed every 1-2 months. Water changes for waterfall and pond area are done weekly. A good reminder for me to wipe down the tank and rinse off the plants and decor for the week is when the calcium powder from the crickets is quite visible.

It is actually a very quick process and only takes me about 5-10 minutes in the evening. I fill a gallon jug with dechlorinated tap water so it is readily available. And it makes water exchanges super quick. On full wipe down, chore day, with water changes in pond it only takes about a half an hour or less.

For my Whites Tree frog's terreium, daily cleaning includes removing any visible feces or other waste, i.e. dead crickets, and cleaning and refilling his water bowl. I then clean his terrarium throughly every 2 to 3 weeks. I am a clean freak when it comes to my frog’s housing area and make sure everything—the tank, furnishings, soil, moss, etc..—is either thoroughly cleaned or replaced.
