I use ABG in both the springtail and isopod cultures. When I want to remove them... I just scoop some out/ and replace the soil as needed.

You might seriously consider a quarantine period for your new frog.
In a small tank ( ie 10 gallons) w/ plain paper towel substrate( dampened with de-chlorinated water)
get to know him-keep that close watch on him.
This is and ideal opportunity observe his habits, monitor his food and poop. ( yes poop)
You will be able to address any issues immediately !

This small tank will never go to waste when you keep frogs.
One should always have a hospital tank and some basic first aid supplies on hand.

Is the 'pet store' a herp store specializing in lots of amphibians and reptiles or is it a place that gets one or two frogs now and then?
You want to be alerted to the frog's care prior to your purchase of it.

All food for thought.

You are doing a really great job- preparation/research PRIOR to obtaining a frog is too often overlooked!

Thak you for the detailed answer. I have 2 places to get my frog, I can go to the pet store that sells birds, rabbits, hamsters and a few herps or I can go to a place called Reptile Kingdom, the name is pretty self explanitory. I plann on going to RK.
