New FBT in Classroom
Hi there! I'm new to this forum and new to frogs (but not reptiles). I recently acquired a fine little FBT and have a few questions. I got him over a week ago (Aug. 29) but he still hasn't eaten. He's very fat and active, but is uninterested in the crickets I drop into his tank. They are all appropriately sized. He is housed in a 5 gallon tank with clean, dechlorinated water. He doesn't have a friend at this time, but I'm hoping to get him one in the future. Here are my questions:
-Is his set-up ok? I tried to keep it very simple because I have limited access to an area where I can clean his tank. With a light-weight, plastic container, it's easy for me to change his water frequently and keep his enclosure clean.
-The enclosure is about the size of a 5-gallon. Is this too small for a pair? If so, will it be detrimental to him if he is kept alone?
-Any ideas as to why he isn't eating yet? The classroom is a comfortable temp and the crickets are about half the size of the frog's head. I have been keeping him covered while he's acclimating so the students don't stress him out.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
