    For food you can also feed blood worms, or basically any pelleted aquatic turtle/frog food that is small enough to fit into their mouths. A lot of people recommend reptomin sticks, you can break them up into bite size pieces. For hand feeding nightcrawlers are great, again you can cut these into bite size pieces. But as they grow they can handle longer and longer worms, it's pretty funny to watch an adult eat a whole nightcrawler.

    I've heard these frogs recover from injuries very well. If he stops eating and acts lethargic then you may want to schedule a trip to a vet. So him swimming around and eating are both good signs. Keep an eye on him. A weak frog could turn into a meal for a slightly bigger tank mate.

    Decent advice, but there are lots of exceptable filters out there. Do not worry about current/vibrations being a problem. That is a myth. These frogs need adaquate filtration so more is better where they are concerned.

    Avoid the bloodworms. If you MUST feed that junk then used frozen/thawed only and only as a treat! There is a growing amount of evidence that bloodworms lead to bloat.

    Any chance you can post a video of the "injured" frog. Could be a piece of stuck shedd/skin on his foot.
    With 4 frogletts you could do a standard 33 gallon aquarium if money is tight. Chances are some are males. Of course as said already bigger is always better.

    Ok. I do have a video how do I post it? We are not tight on money but here is the dilemma.... I have a 4 year old and a 6 month old along with a 2 year old boxer who is our 3rd child lol. I have a LOVE for reptiles/amphibians and had them pretty much my whole life growing up. I had kept my last tank and everything that went with it. My husband and I were at the mall and they were selling these little guys for cheap and said you could keep them in this tiny plastic tank which I knew was not big enough but thought my 20 gal long was going to be plenty good. My husband said yes since we had everything we needed for them although he doesn't think I need extra things to take care of lol. I not only did the vendor lie about care for them but I recently found out they are dyed eeek! Please don't judge me if I would have known I would not have gotten them! Now I have to get a bigger cage, filters, water kits..... Let's just say my husband is not thrilled but since they are so cool to watch they are growing on him.

    I also noticed that one of the other frogs belly from the underneath looks lumpy almost as if you can see every pellet he has eaten.... Is that normal since he is so tiny? I'll make a video with them both in it.
