new male fantasy froglet

[aquamentus11]

I was considering "Cromwell" as a name, but may have to reconsider if he turns into a she. do you mean one of the 10-20gal ones or the smaller size? i've never been able to reach the proper temps using a side-mounted pad. the keeper is roughly 18"x12x7, so the 10-20gal pad is a little too large, but i'll try the smaller size and just crank it up all the way.

thanks for the info on that pad. i just looked it up and the smallest size (8"x8) is sadly still a little large for the side of the keeper (only 7" tall), but a little dangling off won't hurt anything. i just ordered it and it should arrive friday. any more helpful tips?

gotcha, i have one. i'll set up the small keeper tomorrow after work when i can wash it out and set it up. i have a very tiny keeper too, probably 8x4" and a small circular keeper, but i doubt a water dish would fit in either.

should probably take that poop out. WHat kind of bedding is that?

Yea I agree with Ra, the bedding looks unsafe if ingested by the froglet. I would highly recommend changing the current substrate to EcoEarth or something similar to it, especially you're using fake plant in the cage. EcoEarth is cheap and readily available at most pet stores. Congrats on the good-looking frog!

I'd still like to know what kind of bedding that is, it looks nice and it would work well for a mixed species terrarium I'd like to design.

Are talking about an actual glass tank?? If this froglet is quarter sized it needs to be in a small enclosure. Medium to large critter keeper due to them needing a lot of food an nutrition at baby and juvenile stages. The smaller the enclosure the easier it is for them to catch their food. Nothing larger than a 5 gallon at this point. They need small enclosures at young ages. To large of open space can overwhelm them causing stress.

nope we're talking a plastic kritter keeper, but it does have a floor area of 17x12. i have a smaller one that's probably about 6x12 that i keep crickets in now, but had thought that would be too small for a growing gentleman. i think some pictures will help illustrate:



towel to hold moisture that i worry the CHE will get rid of. it's working so far: 80% at 80F







didn't want to dig him out: it's been a big day and i'd like to show this all to you without stressing him too much.
