New to frogs. What do I do next?

I have my leopard frogs in a 20 gallon tank, but I have Southern Leopard Frogs which are considerably smaller than Northern Leopard Frogs, so first you really want to know what type you have. I personally like the 20 gallon tank because these little guys will hop a lot, and it's nice to know that they have the room they need to get around.

A lot of websites recommend using a half water/half substrate cage, but I've been having success using two large water dishes. They may not be super naturalistic, but it sure makes it a lot easier to clean. For substrate, I like regular Eco Earth Loose Coconut Substrate. You can get the bricks of soil and make your own substrate a little cheaper, but using the Eco Earth stuff is a lot easier.

Also make sure to have some good hiding spots for the frog! Mine spend most of their time hiding...

Feel free to message me if you need any more assistance!
