I come back the next morning and it has died only a couple inches from the dish. Sometimes when the frogs are that little and they dirty up the water with their excrement, it is easier for them to "tox-out" poisening themselves by remaining in the water that they had dirtied up for too long.
For some time now I have been keeping my babies without water dishes in their tubs and just taking them out and letting them soak in a seperate conainer every other day.
Interesting concept Justin; guess have to balance stressing frog out by handling to risking a "tox-out" as you describe. Imagine if you handle them this way as babies, they don't get too stressed. Until what age or size would you recommend this no water dish system? Thank you !
