Thank you for the previous advice, and sorry for being late getting back to you guys.
Since the flip-backed frog is not in my posession, it took long time, and also my
friend is not so comfortable with English like most of Koreans. Anyway, here it is
how he keeps his frog, Jaeyoung.
1. Size of enclosure
The frog is currently kept in a small 20x20x20(cm) Acryl box.
2. # of inhabitants - specifically other frogs and size differences
Nothing else. Occasionaly uneaten insects.
3. Humidity
He has no idea. But he keeps spraying water in the morning.
4. Temperature
Same as above., but the current temperature in Korea is min 18 ~ max 28,
but it is probably read around 25 indoor.
5. Water - type - for both misting and soaking dish
Drinking water (through water purifier)
6. Materials used for substrate
Eco Earth (Zoo Med)
7. Enclosure set up i.e. plants (live or artificial), wood, bark and other materials.
Bare, I mean water dish and nothing else.
- How were things prepared prior to being put into the viv.
He cleans with water only.
8. Main food source
Mealworm & superworms, but he changed to earthworms a few days ago, but didn't eat.
9. Vitamins and calcium? (how often)
None.
10. Lighting
None.
11. What is being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure
A Heater that I made for him out of some plumbing parts. (used untile very recently
but not used anymore) (See a photo below)
12. When is the last time he/she ate
about a week ago.
13. Have you found poop lately
a day before that.
14. A pic would be helpful including frog and enclosure (any including cell phone pic is fine)
15. How old is the frog
Not sure, but he and I bought together some time around last March. All of the pacmans are
imported from the US. So, no one knows for sure.
16. How long have you owned him/her
So, around three months now.
17. Is the frog wild caught or captive bred
Shoud be CB
18. Frog food- how often and if it is diverse, what other feeders are used as treats
He once used crickets, but he didn't like them because of the ordor.
19. How often the frog is handled
When he cleans the box.
20. Is the enclosure kept in a high or low traffic area
In living room.
21. Describe enclosure maintenance (water changes, cleaning, etc)
He is doing once a week or whenever he feels like it.
Okay, he hasn't kept any animals before including dog and cats. So, he doesn't have
any general idea of how-to's. In fact, I was the one who bought the frogs, provided the box,
a heater, Eco-earth, water-dish. So, I suppose I am the one to blame.
My frog and his frog were in the exactly the same environment (now mine is being kept in a
bigger box 30x30x30 cm since it got bigger) hardware wise, my frog is at least twice bigger than
his, and eating and pooping well, while his is not. And I have given my frog different kinds of
food like fish(tetras and platies), grubs(Protaetia orientalis) and earthworms(smaller than nightcrawlers
which they don't sell here).
The pictures below are the
1. General View, 2. General view with a frog (mine), 3. Grub I feed, 4. A heater I made
I don't have pictures of my friend's frog, I attatched mine instead. Everything is the same except
mine is bigger (bigger frog and tank), and it has thermo-hygrometer in it.
