    I've been reading lots of care sheets and posts on this forum. I've read some that recommend the smaller and soe the larger. I as for the feeding the same plan on tong feeding him cut up nightcrawlers so I'm not worried about him trying to catch his food. Just wasn't sure if moving from his little critter keeper to a 10 gal tank would add significant stress to the move

    Is he already trained to tong feed? I'm going to say no. This is why you must worry about them catching their food. Some will take from tongs right away, some take a little training, and other never will. Being prepared to care for the frog completely before you buy it is number one. Babies should always be kept in smaller enclosures first and upgraded as they mature. Like I said. most become stressed from feeling exposed in larger enclosures. Making them feel safe and secure is very important.

    Probably not but I'm going to buy crickets and a smaller container to feed him in just in case he doesn't go for the worm chunks at first
