What time of day or night should I feed my frog?

[Camden]

As for soaking the frog, when should I soak him, and how do I go about safely removing him from the tank and into a soaking tub?

the tub you soak your frog in should be filled with luke warm de-chlorinated water. The water should be no deeper than half the height of your frog. So basically you want the water to come up to your frogs chin or throat. Be sure before handleing your frog that you wash you hands really well to remove all the oils and residues from them. Use a mild cleanser and rinse thoroughly. Then rerinse your hands with the same type of de-chlorinated water that you use in your frogs water dish. Rinse them well. Then you can handle your frog. Gently pick up your frog from behind by kind of scooping him/her up and with the other hand do the same from the front. Make sure to get under his/her legs so your frog feels like its on ground. Be careful as they do not like to be handled. Things might get jumpy. Make sure you have a firm grip on the frog by cupping your hands around him/her and hold low to the ground. You don't want to drop your frog or have it jump from your hands. Then gently set your frog in the water. Make sure its not too deep. They are not good swimmers and can drown easily. Also with the firm grip don't squeeze the frog at all. They are fragile around the stomach and ribs.

Thanks again! I guess I also should have asked, how often should I soak him? (I just got him at the pet store yesterday, so he might be a bit too stressed to soak)

You can soak him/her once a week if you like. Since its a new frog and needs to adjust it would be a good idea not to soak him/her for a few days. Just make sure you have a water dish in his/her enclosure that isn't too deep with de-chlorinated water. He/she may soak him/herself. Change the water everyday if you suspect that your frog has been in it. If your frog doesn't get in the water you can change it every other day so the water doesn't get stagnant. Change the substrate no less than once a month. I change mine every 2 weeks to make sure the enclosure staus clean and no bacteria and fungus grow within the substrate.

Are you using coconut fiber Eco Earth for substrate? Never use moss unless you feed your frog in a seperate container. If your frog ingests the moss it can become impacted(constipated) and die.
