    Well There is not much to show in pictures at least for me.

    I Keep two quarantine tanks ready to go at all times.

    One 2g that has a glass lid and I have a small UTH on the side for heating.
    and a 10g with a larger UTH.
    And now that I have an extra zoo med hygrotherm controller I can setup
    either tank in a instant if the need arises.

    Hello,
    Like Louis , I too , keep 2 spare 10 gallon tanks ( cleaned ,covered, and ready to go ) Good for you ---As you know, it's really important to be prepared so you not running around at the last minute. Cheap too. When they are on sale you can pick them up for about ten bucks.

    The answer to your question " I know it can be simple, but I would like to know how simple I can go before it could possibly harm my frogs/toads/whatever."

    An ill or injured frog needs very close attention until they are well enough to re-join a group or be returned to their usual environment. Their illness or injury is stressful and can suppress their immune system, further complicating their recovery. A common sense approach to each situation ( and species) needs to be planned to provide them with as simple a set up as possible so that in doing so ....ie pooping , eating, soaking etc. can be monitored. It needs be simple enough so that cleaning and treatments are done quickly and efficiently with as little disturbance as possible.The length of time in a hospital setting is simply dictated by their recovery plan. You don't want to put them back until you know , for sure, they will be able to eat and not effect the heath of other tank mates. Hope this helps a little.

    Here is a link to a thread with ....... photos.....for you. Lots of photos ! You may have read this?
