    Default All water setup to a ornate?

    Im thinking of trying a all water setup for my ornate pac. What do you guys think does it work? If so and you have it feel free to post pictures of it!

    Mine has been feeding very little last couple of month, only thing he eats directly is mice/pinki. Crickets and roaches is not that interesting it seems like. Maybe its becaucse hes in a glass-terrarium with night temp dropping...

    Cheers // Stefan

    horned frogs should never be in all water. They need to be able to burrow.

    Chomp is absolutely correct. These are terrestrial frogs. They need moist soil to burrow into and only a shallow water dish for soaking. Having these frogs in an all water setup risks death by drownning as these frogs are not good swimmers. Also risk health issues and not to mention stress related illnesses caused from the frog not being able to burrow and hide. They are also nocturnal and remain burrowed during the day to sleep/hide /and escape the heat and light.

    Like they said, all water is a bad idea for any sort of pacman. If he's stopped eating, it might be temp or humidity. Try getting a heat mat and putting it on the side of his tank and see if that helps. Also, if you don't have something like this already, try wrapping about 2/3 of the cage-top in cling wrap to keep in humidity.
