    Frogfeet - Beautiful! You should be very proud of it. Looking forward frog to pics as well.
    Keep them separate while they are little! Like our "forum expert" says.
    Heed his suggestions as they come from a very, highly respected source.

    Froglets- It's best to keep them in a simple set up for a while so that you can keep an I on what they are eating, otherwise the darn crickets just disappear into the moss. Get some weight on them. Feed them really well !

    Have Fun !!!

    Thanks for all the compliments on the new viv. I got a glass bowl for the crickets yesterday after reading a thread about how a glass bowl keeps most of the crickets in the bowl and that they are loads cheaper than feeder bowls at pet stores that dont keep the crickets from escaping. When the frogs get here I will keep them in the small critter keeper that I have to make sure they are getting food and until they are big enough to go into the big viv. And will definitely post some pictures.

    So the red eyes got here well....sorta. The came by post office and it ends up they delivered to the wrong house no one was at this wrong address so they left a note and took the frogs back to the post office I got a call from reptile city that they were there and have to go in the morning to pick them up. Bad side they're at the post office and reptile city wont give me a refund if they end up being DOA because it would be the post office's fault. Hopefully they will be alright till I can get them in the morning as soon as the post office opens....

    Thats some bad luck with the po, i agree it sounds like the po's fault if they die. Maybe you can open them before accepting package

    Shame on Reptile City! It's at the very least, not nice to hear that when you frogs are locked in the post office .
    Let us know!!!! You would think if a "live" pkg was not deliverable they would have a procedure in place to correct the problem ASAP and not after the post office is closed?? Our postal person tends to be very lazy about packages that have to be signed for. ie They say they "rang the bell " but never do. My husband works at home and is 5 ft from the bell ; so they fib about it.

    I know it will be scary, but take photos as you open your package. Hoping !!!!

    Wow ! I'm soooooo happy to hear this !
    Time for stress reduction!!!
    Feed them well with appropriate size crickets ( even if you have to use small and medium) darken 3 sides of the enclosure.
    Keep and eye on the temp and humidity. I'm sure everyone will chime in and will be very happy to see your post .

    This made my day !
