    What is the best beginner set up for FBT's? Gravel, dirt, bowl of water, tank of water? What is easier to keep clean and not have to move out the frogs very often? I need something easy to understand and light work. It does not have to be cheep just easy.

    I have figured out this much. I prefer a bowl of water that I can change out daily.

    Well, smooth pond stones are probably the most natural, with a glass divider for the land area, of which could be compromised of topsoil or coconut fiber, with a layer of moss on the top. Or you could build up the smooth stones to form a land area, I did that with my juvenile Bullfrogs tank. But it's your choice.

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

    if you wanna get real easy you could have an external filter or a filter that can sit in the tank. then have your tank filled up just a few inches with water. just have wood or rocks coming out of the water for a perch. they dont need much

    Now that sounds more like what I would like to start with. Then later as I learn more go with a planted tank.

    Ok so this simple set up is what I have them in now.
    I have a few more questions. If/when I do a planted land/water set up how do you go about cleaning it? Would it be like a fish tank once the water cycles only have to do is water changes? Or would I be digging up plants and changing dirt too? Would it be easier to clean if I use pots?
    The reason I ask is I can get a 10 gallon and do a set up I can break down without a lot of trouble. But if I can fix one up that I don't have to break down or even take off the shelve that I would have to put it on cause it would be to high for me I have a 45 gallon tub I can set up for my three FBT's.

    How about a small glass bowl for feeding? It has to be about an inch and a half talk to keep the crickets in. You'll need to wipe it out every few days to remove calcium residue.

    Put your crickets in the bowl and they'll learn to go to the bowl to eat. This will stop the drowning and allows you to see how many they eat.

    Wax worms might stay in that but crickets well just out.
