A new tree frog

[Tom Highum]

Could you post a picture of your fish bowl habitat?

Sure! I can do a better job later. Right now I am working.

Looks fine in size for now but what is the temperature in there?

[furcat]

I don't know the temperature. We do keep our house fairly warm, and when I put my hand in there, it is noticeably warmer. But, I can put a thermometer in there to find out.

I got the fruit flies yesterday evening, and put some in the bowl. My frog moved around more than I have ever seen him move after that, but I'm not sure if he ate any of them or not. I can tell that he's been in the little tray I had in there with the cricket pellets. But, again, I'm not sure if he ate any of those. I am going to clean it tonight and put fresher pellets on there, and this time I am going to count them.

I did have a few fruit fly "escapees," that are running around the house somewhere ........

The sure sign to know if he is eating is poo. Even if you never see him eat, as long as food disappears and is replaced with poo, things should be ok.

I'll start looking! I guess it's going to be hard to see it, though, on the dark bottom of the bowl.

Treefrogs poop everywhere, so it shouldn't be hard to find some, especially on the sides of the tank. I have a bright LED flashlight that helps me spot poop on the coconut bedding.
