Urlacher get better please ;(

[heyjude2200]

I'm so glad Ulracher is doing well. But don't let him lull you into thinking he won't try and make a break again. One of my FBT's Motley, was always trying to scale the side of the tank, but he would just go up a couple of inches. Then, several months ago he scaled the entire side of the tank (18"), I couldn't believe it--I posted a pic--but, when he got up there, he didn't know what to do--the lid was on, and after a few minutes he fell & landed on a hard plastic hide & just laid there for a minute. I thought he was hurt, but then he got up and started moving around. I watched him carefully for a while & by the next day he was his frisky self. But he completely stopped climbing the side of the tank after that, until last week, that is, when I had the lid off & he came flying out. The little rascal.

Urlacher must be doing great came down stairs this morning and he was at the top of the cage climbing his way out. I guess some frogs will never learn, or he just a daredevil. not even a week since almost dying and hes back at it. i cant wait to get this twenty gallon set up for them.... speaking of which i wanna do a half water half land thing so im thinking bout putting a divider inbetween the water and land so it will actually hold water just on that side. gunna go to homedepot and get a pcs of plexiglass about 2 to 3 inch tall than put some rtv on the sides and on the bottom so it will hold the water to the seperate side. than like once a week im going to stick a transfer pump hose in there and suck all the water out, and refill with new spring water. that way i can stay away from filters. anyways would it matter what kind of gasket sealant i use as long as it dries 100%???

silly little frog - glad to hear he is doing well again

if you don't want to deal with filters, just use a large shallow container. one that would be easy to remove, rinse and refill - that's what i plan on doing for my 20L anyway.

thats what i currently do now. At first i had one bowl but when upgraded to a second frog i put two bowls, however im modifying the twenty because i want a large water spot. I dont trust filters, i had them as a kid and my frogs only lasted a couple yrs at best. i trust me changing the water and putting spring water

I used a sheet of acrylic in my tank to separate the water--home depot had a stock piece that is 12' and I was able to score it with a box cutter and then break it to the right height. I put the cut side down so it wouldn't be too sharp. I used a silicon sealant that is rated safe for aquariums--it is clearly stated on the tube. It's worked out great.
