You know I wish I could get my hands on the MORON!!! that told you they need no heat, lighting, or humidity!!!! If I were you I would not ask anything more from where you purchaser this frog. Obviously they are a bounty of uselessness and bad information. You've been given great information from the members above. I suggest that you follow it and next time DONT rush into a situation that you yourself are not prepared for. These frogs do require a lot of care at baby and juvenile stages. FOOD being the most important. You will need to feed your frog every night YES NIGHT!!! they are nocturnal so you will need to provide a day night cycle 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night. So 7:00 am to 7:00 pm or 8:00 am to 8:00 pm.
My main suggestion for housing as of now is a medium to large critter keeper with one once of Coconut Fiber substrate. A UTH(Under Tank Heater) for Hermit Crab enclosures placed on the back of the keeper. (Hermit Crab UTH are safe for plastic) That should provide enough heat for a small enclosure. Cover the top of the lid for the keeper with Saran Wrap leaving the vents on the ends uncovered and the viewing lid in the center uncovered so you can drop food in. Substrate needs to be moist, but not mud so just heavily damp. Place the water dish in the farther corner away from the UTH. Water dish NEEDS TO BE SHALLOW!! No deeper than half the height of the frog so there is no possible way it can drown. Pacs are terrestrial and are not good swimmers.
Get a Calcium Powder supplement that contains Vitamin D3 and dust the frogs food with it every other feeding. Also purchase a Multivitamin. I suggest Herptivite and dust the food with it once a week, BUT do not dust with both at the same time in the same feeding.
Use small crickets as the main food source and I mean the tiny quarter inch to nearly half inch sized ones. Also use Earthworms/Night Crawlers and cut appropriately sized pieces off the worms starting at the tail and offer them to your frog. Rule of thumb is to not offer food items larger than the distance between the frogs eyes. DO NOT USE MEALWORMS OR SUPERWORMS!! The chitin their exoskeleton is made of cannot be digested by your frog and can cause an impaction(Severe constipation cause by intestinal blockage).
You MUST de-chlorinate any water used for your frog. So you will need a de-chlorinating agent to treat the water before placing it in the frogs enclosure. This includes the water used for misting, expanding substrate, and water dish.
Hopefully everything has been covered here. Any in depth questions feel free to ask.
Don't worry if your frog invests some of the coco fiber while hunting. It almost always passes through without harm. to minimize this issue you will need to teach your frog to tong feed which was stated in the above posts. Also break the hind legs off the crickets before offering them to your frog. This makes them much easier for your frog to catch and also will reduce substrate ingestion.
Keep us posted on the little ones progress.
