They're really not that challenging at all. Just use coco fiber (eco earth) for a substrate, keep their heat at 80-85 during the day and around 75 at night. You can do this with a under the tank zoo-med heater that you can stick to the side of the tank, if you put it under they can burrow down and get cooked by it. You need a water bowl for them, keep this on the opposite side of the tank that the heater is on, put either dechlorinated or spring water in the bowl and you can mist the tank with distilled water. They need humidity at about 70%-80%. Have some fake plants or hides in the tank, as well as a background to make them comfortable. They don't like big open spaces. If you get a baby, the tank you keep it in should be no larger than 5 gallons. Even for adults, a tank 8 to 10 times bigger than the frog is fine. They usually eat with no problem, you can tong feed them but if you're using eco earth you don't really need too.. if you keep sphagnum moss and stuff in their tank, it's best to tong feed so they don't accidentally ingest something harmful, this is why I use nothing but eco earth. They love this stuff because they can burrow in it, which makes them a lot more comfortable than sitting out in the open.

I think I covered the basics, these frogs are not hard to care for and are good pets, but you can't really handle them too much. It's bad for frogs in generally to be handled. Oil from our skin can harm them. If you have any more questions I'm sure you'll find everything you need to know.

EDIT: http://www.frogforum.net/content/pac...-breeding-170/ Here is the care sheet for them, always read the care sheets before purchasing any animal just so you're 100% sure you can provide what is necessary and can have everything ready for them when you get them home.
