I think (hope >_<) it'll be ok if one of them was slightly worn for about 4 hours. I'm out of clean shirts at the moment, and this was not something I thought I had needed in quite this way >_>. It'll probably be fine though.

LOL i'm sure they will be fine.

Well I tossed some crickets in last night, and I don't see them in there this morning, so I'm hoping they ate. Only problem is that there were only two crickets in the tube and they're both hiding in the same small hole within the log, so I don't know if they both got to eat . This is why I prefer to hand feed sometimes, but these guys don't seem to want to eat off tweezers just yet.

Hi Gentlemangorath,

To monitor food intake, poop and overall health and well being of any newly acquired frog(s); they should be in a 'quarantine' environment for at least 30 days. Example of a quarantine set-up can be found here. This is important to head-off any problems you might find ie an ill frog, such as one that might have runny poop etc.

As well, you will find instructions to 'sterilize' tank, and tank things. Wooded or porous objects can be baked or boiled. Everything else can be give - a VERY - diluted bleach dip, including plants. After a bleach dip, everything needs to be well rinsed, rinsed, rinsed in water w/ de-chlorinator to remove remnants of the bleach.

I had already cleaned everything before putting my new little guys (Verde and Boom) into the tank, but unfortunately do not have a second quarentine tank. I know about watching for poop, but they're both currently hiding in a den-like hole near the bottom of the log. I don't know if they left the log to eat, or if the crickets wandered into dangerous territory, but i also don't want to check for poo and disturb them.
