    First, the enclosures you are using for a leopard frog are too small. Ranids (the group of frogs for which the leopard frog is a member) have powerful jumping legs, they are also skittish, so they need larger enclosures to prevent injuring themselves when startled. A ten-gallon tank might work, but bigger is better.

    Second, since it was taken from a creek in January in PA, it's not going to want to eat. Its brain is telling it that it's not time to eat yet. Meanwhile, if the frog is get at warmer temperatures it metabolism will kick in and since he is not eating, the frog's own body will begin to "digest" itself. I would keep this guy in some moist sphagnum and in a cool place till April. Your one gallon tubs may be fine for this, but come spring put the little guy in a bigger enclosure.

    it does eat and it has been "woken up" it's active and eating. My question is how often should I feed her. It's about a 1 in frog not including the legs. I am looking for a new home but I can't go out and get a 10 gallon for these reasons: 1) Im 15 and have parents who are not all into small pets and spending my money on them. 2) I have no more room to put another 10 gallon tank (i already bought one in order to house a wild caught crayfish). Im looking for a bigger plastic tub. Its about
    2' 3"x13.5"x4" . Its not very tall but there is room for it to move around and swim. I am also browsing for a Uncle Milton frog aquarium. It is 13.5"x6"x8". Its a cage designed just for leopard frogs. Its a tub that has natural looking habitat with a small reservoir for it to swim plenty of land space and a small built in hut for hiding. The thing about my giant tub is it's solid green so I can's view the frog unless the frog happens to be pressed up to the side I might be able to see its outline. Is it bad if I keep it locked up in a box all the time. light can go through fine but not through the lid. but not much light. Any other recommendations on how to make a make **** tank. I might consider converting my fish tank into a half and half using a ReptoFilter. thanks for the help!

    Your last idea may work. Those Uncle Milton thingies aren't worth wasting your money on. I feed my frogs one to twice a week. I have no set rules to frequency of feeding. I just feel it out.
