    Default Re: Just some fun Bullfrog facts you might like to know

    Even though it can take 3-5 years for a bullfrog to fully mature, it is still a good idea to separate them. The bullfrog would eventually get much bigger than the green frog. Mine don't seem to care one way or the other if they have "friends" in with them or not. As long as they get food they are happy lol.

    Bumpy is probably just getting used to her new home. I'm sure you would be a little scared if you were moved to a strange new place all of a sudden. Give her a week, and she should come around and be back to her old self.

    As for decoration, you don't have to spend a ton of money. You can even use what most people would consider trash. I like to use broken flower pots as hides. Or plastic bowls upside down with an arch cut in the side to make a cave. If you have any dollar stores or something similar, you can find a lot of neat things to decorate with for cheap. That is what I do. I just make sure there is nothing sharp or any small things they could stuck in. You can also bring in things from outside. Like bark and branches. However you have to either boil them or bake them to kill anything harmful before adding to the frog tanks.

    Your tank looks very nice and I'm sure you frogs are happy living in them.

    Yeah, I agree. All I am worried about is Bumpy settling in, and also, it will be more difficult maintaining 2 setups. However, if it's for the frogs, I'm up to the task without hesitation. I love 'em, they're one of the 3 most important things to me in life:
    Family, Friends, and Frogs

    I might try that.... I have a few flower pots in my garden which aren't in use, 2 of which are broken. Bumpy is a very skittish frog, even when she was in the 30G, she was still very shy. Her skittishness is probably due to the fact both frogs are W/C. It's funny, Gnag and Bumpy are opposite in that aspect. Gnag is a cool, calm and relaxed frog. She's very photogenic. Bumpy is a shy, skittish and nervous frog. I've yet to take a photo of her!

    However, if given lots of hiding spots and greenery to hide by, she'll feel more relaxed. At their lake, they had large lily pads, plants, grasses, and various greenery to hide by. Is it possible for me to get a kind of greenery that will spread throughout the water, and maybe, help clean it? And if so, could you tell me where to get some? Something like the plants surrounding this frog:

    Oh, and that isn't a picture of Gnag! She's much smaller than that.

    Ah, in my opinion, Bumpy's is pretty crude, especially in comparison to Gnag's 30 Gallon. I only setup and got the supplies for the tank in about 6 hours. It's definitely a work-in-progress. But for now, my main focus is getting more hiding spots and decoration.

    Thanks for all the help and advice, Ashley. I appreciate it
    My Amphibians:

    1.0.0 Pseudacris Regilla (Levi )
    1.1.0 Ambystoma Macrodactylum (Urtham and Gargan )
    2.2.0 Bombina Orientalis ( Rosa, Sasha, Aleksis, and Dimitri )

    Rest in Peace, Gnag the Nameless, Chrome, and Thermidor
