    Hello Trey! Only thing can add to Grif's information is to make sure your bottled water is "spring water." If treated water; might contain chloramines and still require a conditioner. Myself use tap water with a Seachem aquarium conditioner and frogs are fine.

    IRT heating, having good results by using the Fluker's Dimmer Dome with a ceramic heat emitter. Recently found a source for 50W one's made by Zilla; here's a link to supplier but might find at local shop too: Reptile Heating and Lighting: Zilla Ceramic Heat Emitter at Drs. Foster and Smith . IMO, those emitters evaporate less water than red lights and are more efficient warming up tank. The 50W should be enough to warm your tank by itself; have a 100W on a 20 gal. in a 70F room and it does fine. Good luck!
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    yes i only use spring water even with my firebellies i always use spring water. when i was a kid, my frogs never lasted to their full potential. i am a firm believer in the fact that they key ingrediant to healthy frogs is the water supply

    That it is. Also a diverse diet and good husbandry.

    i tryed to feed the pacman today. it was a no go. not yet anyways. shes been fully barried for another day or two so i uncovered her head last night. she stayed there with her eyes closed. this morning she was sitting there with her head uncovered with her eyes open. theyre are all red (from the albino. it looks so good)... shes so beautiful wish shed show herself to the world... at least me ... so tonight she was same way head uncovered eyes open. so i tryed to feed her a cricket, bye hand. didnt take it. so i broke the leg off and dropped it in, also put a second cricket. closed everything up and sat back from a distance. still nothing so i let her be. ill go down later and check for crickets...

    You may need to get the temps up alil higher in her tank to help spark an appetite and feeding responce.

    O) I'm so glad Urlacher ate. Great that he's doing better.

    just went to the basement and to my surprise the albino was in the whole but completely uncovered. the crickets were gone too. (unless their in the substrate but if that was the case i doubt the frog would be uncovered like that. however im taking nothing for granted. lets hope for some poop tomorrow and maybe she let me watch her feed. my phone has no flash sorry. soon.

    when i went to work at 6:30 am i whent down stairs and she was still uncovered so i snapped a few shots. a couple things though in one of the pictures you can see i have nothing put around three walls for a back drop. and i bet the cat walks around the cage. on top of it, her cage is around 81 to 79 at all times. so i use the basement light as her 12 and 12. i think these things are contributing to her secretive ways. i havent named her yet, maybe i should give her a spy name lol. anyways here are some pics...
