new male fantasy froglet

[aquamentus11]

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.

thanks, he is a very good-looking young man. i actually cleaned out the poop right after i posted that pic lol. i did a double take because it was so big. it's "Organic Choice potting mix" by Miracle Gro. It's just composted sphagnum, bark and Pasteurized poultry litter (apparently I was wrong and there is a fertilizer). Poultry litter is just straw or wood shavings mixed with poop. It sounds gross, but I've kept animals in it many times before and they do well. It replicates a forest floor well. I don't think he'll get impacted from ingesting a little dirt, but I could be wrong. I've used eco earth in the past too, so i have no prob switching if it's recommended.
