More WTF Questions

[HerpDerp]

You would think I would have this all figured out by now! I got my new WTF on Sunday and he seems to be doing alright, but his personality is completely the opposite of Glurmo's so I'm having a hard time figuring him out! I know for sure it is a he because he croaks even more than Glurmo does and he's only a little over an inch long! I estimate him to be 6-8 months because when he first arrived at the pet store a couple months ago all the frogs were under an inch long. Although, I don't really know squat about guessing the age!

So here are my specific questions in no particular order:

1. He was a nice bright green at the pet store but since I've had him he has stayed grayish/olive colored most of the time, but does occasionally brighten up. What can cause the poor color and how do I improve it.

2. He is super shy. I only ever see him after his light's been off for at least a half hour or if I take him out from hiding to feed him (he is eating great though!).

3. Speaking of eating, how much and how often should a frog of that size and age be eating? He's a bit younger and smaller than Glurmo and I read so much conflicting info on this.

4. Just today I've noticed that he's been burrowing in the substrate right next to the UTH. I have one on the bottom and one on the side AND an incandescent bulb because the UTH's only work at like half capacity (Junk lol). The humidity according to my analog hydrometer is around 60-70% and the daytime temp is about 82. Why on earth is he burrowing??

5. And more of an opinion question: If he's that shy should I just leave him alone or should I try to work with him a little so he can be as chill as Glurmo. I thought Glurmo was sick when I first got him because he's so mellow, but this guy is always wound up.

Please someone give me some straightforward answers so I can stop worrying! Just when I thought I had WTFs figured out I get one that's completely the opposite of Glurmo! These things need a built in troubleshooting program :P

I have no idea about why your WTF's would be borrowing, however, I would be feeding it 2-3 small crickets or locusts. The only reason it could be burrowing is the temp. or humidity is bad, but it seems okay. He might just be finding it difficult adjusting to his surroundings. Or it could be that the other frog is to big for him, it should only go in the same tank once the SAME size. Colour can be down to humidity (etc), but I'd assume it will just changeover time, may be downtown the stress. I wouldn't worry, but I would suggest separating them if there is a size difference.
Id stop worrying, I'm sure he'll be fine.

They are already separate. He's in a 10 gallon right now for quarantine for at least 30 days (probably longer due to his size). Once he's big enough I'm going to put him in my exo-terra 18x18x24 tall. I have three sides of his tank covered but I'm thinking of covering the front for a while too, just to make him feel more secure. I've been feeding him 3 small crickets a night because he's so skinny and he's already pooped for me. It took Glurmo over a week to poop! I'm thinking you're right though. I'm sure he's just adjusting

[EJT97]

Does he have any hides, these would make him feel he isn't being watched all the time?

[HerpDerp]

I have a few fake plants in there. They are all against the back corners so he can hide behind them. One of them is really bushy and full so he's been hiding behind that, but still burrowed. His enclosure isn't in an ideal place though. It's relatively low traffic but is it right near the bathroom and bedroom doors so there is some traffic. I would put him in the bedroom but that's where Glurmo is and I've heard they can't be in the same room for quarantine? And I think moving him would be stressful too.

Carry on doing what your doing, it is probably adjustment, you seem like you know what your doing if your other frog is fine!!!
