    thinking from a frogs perspective I would make the substrate deeper as the frog gets bigger. 2-3 inches sounds good for a baby in a critter keeper through a ten gallon tank. right now I have my 1 year old pacman in a ten gallon tank with the substrate 4 inches deep and my 9 month old giant african bullfrog is in a 20 gallon tank with substrate at a depth of 5 inches.

    You only need to place enough substrate in the enclosure that allows the frog to cover itself all the way if it wants. Babies only need 1.5" to 2" juveniles 2" to 3" adults should have 3" to 4". You don't want to place so much in there incase you need to find the frog. They only need deep substrate for aestivation and brumation periods.
