Frog banging face into glass

[Pluke]

Hmmm.. yeah I'd suggest some wallpaper, but I'm not sure how that would help with the ceiling issue. I'm not really sure what you could do to stop him from doing that. Do you ever take him out? Maybe letting him out of the cage and letting him wander a bit will help? (that's if you have a safe, clean place for that.) If you come up with a solution let me know, as I'd be interested to hear for future reference. I have three baby tomato frogs atm and any info is good info.

Edit: Maybe a bigger tank would be a solution, too. A 40 Gallon or so.. it might be telling you it wants some more room.

Ah jeez, I literally just bought and set up this new tank last weekend. It's a 25 gallon (24"x15"x21") tank in a bundle from Petsmart (actually a really good deal). I'd like to give him all the space his frog self would like, but I'm a college student and there won't be room for a big tank when I go back this year. I also won't really have a good place for him to wander. Perhaps at later date when I have some more money and time I'll pick up a larger tank (and maybe a froggie friend too).

For now though I will probably get some wallpaper and paste it along the back and one/both of the left and right sides. I really would prefer not to limit my viewing angles of him, as the front of the tank is wet and foggy from the humidity, and also smeared with coconut fiber from his late night activities. However, I will follow my new adage, "Frog before self".

I'd really not spend much money on a background. Do you guys know of a good place to get them other than a local pet store? I'm kinda cheap, and sometimes shopping for frog supplies at pet stores feels like highway robbery.

25 Gallon is fine for now. If you keep moving the frog around it will become overly stressed. Just place a background around 3 sides of the tank to make the frog feel more secure.

Keep on eye on PetCo, they just had a sale this last June/July for $1 per Gallon for tanks up to 55G. So you could get a 40 gallon for $40 which is a really good deal. That's if you have the room for it of course, heh. I'm pretty sure that sale happens twice a year, so around December/Janurary expect to see it again. I've seen background for sale for as low as $1 a foot I THINK, maybe it was $2 a foot. This was at a fish store in Ypsilanti, if you're anywhere near there.
