Thanks all for the feedback, can't tell you how much I appreciate it!!! I just moved them to the bigger tank and feel better already. Will definitely use a "cricket bowl" and maybe coax them towards it tonight.
@velvety14u My home temp in summer is about 65, winter is about 60 or so. I'm near the coast so it's always fairly cool, except a stretch in late summer. Thank you for the cricket bowl suggestion. I wanted to do that but the plastic tank was a bit too small.
@DonLisk I'm pretty much within the range IF I pay close attention. Unattended (if I'm at work or out for the evening) the daytime temp can get up to 90 F and the nighttime temp can go down to 65 F. Not terribly dramatic but enough to worry me gray-haired!!! I didn't realize the humidity could go down to 50% safely, that is a relief for me too. I've been keeping it 70-80%.
@Cheri Thanks, I am definitely a nervous froggy mama right now, I just love frogs so much I want them to be comfortable. I cover 3 sides of the tank and cover the front too if we're watching tv or we have too many lights on at night. They have a lot of plants in the new tank.
@Lynn Thanks for sharing your experience. They are about 1.25 inches. I've seen them pressing their bellies into the wet paper towel, only saw them in the water dish once. Again, a relief to know that's what they do when they're little! I will definitely watch the cricket size-- I got the smallest crickets I could but some large get mixed in when I buy them.
I took a few photos of the new (old!) set up. Will post them shortly. Thanks all for your encouragement and advice.![]()
