A new tree frog

[furcat]

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.

The temperature in there yesterday evening was 70 degrees. I'm open to other ways to ventilate. This is all new to me. I honestly never expected to be able to get this far with the tadpole and frog. I just hated seeing the tadpole swimming around and knowing it would freeze later on, so I took a chance and brought it inside. Now, I want this to be successful.

Kurt why didn't you just make your own post?
Well I personally would recommend getting a kritter keeper from a pet store. These are small plastic cages. You could also use a chunk of window screen as the top just make sure it is secure.

Or a piece of cloth as it is finer so the fruit flys can't escape. You could use a piece of cloth on the fish bowl, just attach it with an elastic.

Tom, would you like me to remove the video?

[Tom Highum]

No I don't care Kurt.

Don't remove the video. I had never seen it before and it was most definitely giggle-worthy.

Yeah Kurt posted it on another thread but it got totally side longed in a discussion on the TV show Scrubs. So has the tank been updated yet?

Don't remove the video. I had never seen it before and it was most definitely giggle-worthy.

The all NEW season of Scrubs starts Tuesday Dec 1st with a one-hour premeire. Previews can be seen at http://abc.go.com/shows/scrubs

Hi all .......... sorry it took me awhile to respond. I love the video! It is definitely funny. And, I do have FROG POOP! I found some! So, a video making fun of poop is appropriate when a grown person gets excited about frog poop!

I also saw my frog eat a fruit fly yesterday. That was exciting too! The first batch of flies I got were sorta on their way out, but the store near me didn't have more and were waiting on a shipment. I never saw whether he ate them or not. I got two fresh vials of flies yesterday, and I introduced a few of them into the bowl, and my frog started stalking them. I was able to watch him catch one and eat it.

As soon as I can I am going to give him a new "pad."

Is there any way at this point to tell if my frog is a male or female?

I have another question. I am out of fruit flies, and all of the pet stores around me are out as well. The little vial I bought with fruit flies that was supposed to produce more flies didn't do that at all, and I've gotten 4 of them at this point.

But, I can buy crickets. I bought the smallest ones they have, and the batches I got contain some that are in the range of 1/4".

Will this be adequate for a tree from this small? Or, do I need to start figuring out another way to get fruit flies?

Thanks guys.
