I have a pair of red eyed tree froglets i'm keeping them in a glass terrarium(30x30x45cm) with about an inch of plantation soil at the bottom with paper towel on top to help with feeding and changing the towel everyday so my question is how often should i clean the hole tank and plantation soil i have had them about 3weeks so i don't really wan't to disturb them too much. oh and i have a bigger tank ready for them when they get bigger 60x45x60
Hi,
I would say as they are growing ( they are still very tiny) there is really no reason to have the plantation soil.
( just the dampened paper towel w/ de-chlorinated water) Change out the paper towel , only, when they are sleeping.
Without the soil, you will be able to keep it cleaner, monitor their food intake, and their poop.
You would be able to feed them by putting crickets in a sided- small bowl and an the floor; this way they will become accustomed
to both methods.

as lynn said. If you are using paper towels then there's really no point of having anything else in there under the paper towels
