    OK good now you rescued him. What do you have him in. Can we see some pics of his new home. All you need is a small place for now. with coco fiber and a small water bowl for him to soak in. If you have any questions about food, vitamins,temps/humidity. Please let us know. pics would help. BTW the care sheet here is a must.

    Great looking C.cranwelli! I love the bright green! When I got mine, I almost thought it was a blue phase because it was so bright green. Yours looks very similar!

    Sounds like you are taking great care of the little guy. If you have any questions, like said before, don't be afraid to throw them at us!

    OK, so here he is. Im assuming "he" cause someone on here said the males have brownish black dots on the belly, and he does. Still a baby! Enjoying a worm.Name:  2011-09-26 18.24.44.jpg

    This is his new home. It a 20L. I know its a little big for him right now, so I have it FLOODED with live plants and a couple fake ones, to break it up a bit. It also has a background on it now too, on the back and right side. Name:  2011-10-06 12.46.06.jpg

    On a side note.... He has been burrowed for days.... actually more like a couple weeks. Fully submerged and wont eat. Every couple days I will dig him out and try to feed him. Sometimes he'll eat a butter worm or two, some days nothing. Ive tried everything from earthworms, wax worms, butter worms, to crickets and fruit flys. I read they should eat every day when they a juveniles, but I also read not to disturb them too much if they are burrowed. The tank stays around 80F and humidity is around 65-70. I keep the soil moist, and he has a water bowl, but only used it once in the 3 or 4 weeks ive had him. Im concerned about him not eating. Any thoughts

    I think the tank might be too big for him, what size is he ? I think a 5 or 10 gallon tank would do since it's small and it can catch its food easier

    I agree with Tiko. Your frog may be stressed from the enclosure. It is too big and I don't think flooding it with plants will change that. You need a 5 or 10 gallon tank.

    Well. I am kinda strapped for cash, and I had the 20 on hand. I just put him in there 2 days ago. He has been buried a couple weeks. He not interested in any food. He hasn't moved so he does not know how big it is, and there is only a 8in MAX line-of-sight anywhere in the tank.

    Believe me he senses the open space. The light is to bright and . For now a plastic shoe box will do drill some holes in the sides. Add some coco fiber and a water dish. He will be happier there. You must keep it at 80/65. Get him in a smaller container with right temp/humidty. No lights.
