Hi! Was wondering if maybe the years are starting to catch-up with Hetfield and he is just feeling a bit old & cranky. Your Vet might think something similar and that's reason recommended the change of scenery. It would be like taking a vacation trip for a human being... time to chill and release stress.

That's a lot of money into a Vet. I'm saving money now to buy an amphibian veterinary textbook and arm myself with lot's of frog medical care knowledge.

Sometimes local pet Shops have sales or used decorations at greatly reduced prices and that's when I grab more expensive decor items. Suitable aquarium decor is frog safe too as long as you avoid sharp corners or any holes or areas where frog could get stuck in. Also, if good with hands, the vivarium section has lots of ideas on how to build your own decor with silicone, water proof expanding foam, and other items. Good luck!

I wouldn't switch back and forth between surroundings. This would cause unneccissary stress. If you're going to change Hetfield's setup change it and leave it be. Do keep an eye on his mood and habits. Instead of moss maybe use coco fiber substrate. Reduce the risk of impaction if Hetfield accidentally eats some substrate. I read that you hand feed. I'm just stating this incase one gets away and Hetfield decides to chase it. Try keep stress levels as as low as possible. 15 years is pretty old and Hetfield looks healthy in your photos. I hope all works out.

If your looking to just try something simple,, add a Broneliad to the tank. You can leave it in its pot even as long as you wash off all the soil and rinse the plant well. Then just use coco fiber for the pot or clamp the plant into place along a side of the tank.

This will give a great place to perch and sleep and not cost a lot of money.

Forgot to mention, bromeliads are self supporting and need no soil to survive. Only water and lighting.
