Congrats on becoming a frog slave! I applaud you for doing your research first and getting everything set up before you get your frogs. I didn't do that but somehow with the help of everyone on this forum I was able to raise some healthy frogs. You are in the right place!

Don't forget to post pictures!

Thanks everyone.

Louis, I did state that these are my first frogs in the original post. Maybe I was wrong, but I thought you'd be able to piece together that the vivarium is currently empty. I'll take those crickets out first thing in the morning. And I'll definitely post lots of pictures! I'll try to do it without letting the frogs know I'm there. I think they would be bothered.

I also finally got the tracking number. I'll be following them the entire shipping time.

The last thing I need to do is go out tomorrow morning and get a new piece of glass for the top. The current one is a little too short and it's fallen a couple of times when I accidentally shifted it. I'm going to get a new one that's 2/16s longer and so it covers 75% of the top instead of 50%.

A few things about working with class just in case you don't know.If you use some medium sandpaper you can take the sharp edges off the edges of the class to make it safer to handle also you can put a bead of silicone around the edges to make it easier to handle.

I'll pick some up when I go to the hardware store today.

The frogs are here and in their new tank. I was so nervous when I opened the container and saw them. I've never recieved an animal besides fish in the mail. We ended up staring at each other for two minutes. I scooped them out with my hands and placed them in the land part. The first one went into a cave, the second went right to the water, and the third just sat on the land. They've already got the water dirty by getting dirt in it. Good thing I have a water change scheduled for Saturday.

They seem to like the cave that's in the water. The first and the second have already climbed up on it. The third is currently hanging out in the land cave. The second seems to really want to get behind it. I'm not sure if I should let him incase he gets stuck or something.

I have to go to the hardware store again today and pick up a new piece of glass. I just got one today to cover 75% of the top but it turns out I got one that's only half as long as it needs to be. Now I've wasted my own money. Sigh.

In conclusion, they seem fine and healthy, but if I know anything from fish keeping, never judge immediately. Pictures soon! And as I was typing this, I decided I'm going to open up some space to let the frogs get behind the cave, because now two of them really want to.

Hey don't waste that glass.
use it,
just put another sheet slightly shorter lengthwise on top and slide it back and fourth to set how much of the top is open.
so you have a adjustment of sorts.
just use the sand paper on the edges and put the silicone on the bottom of the bottom pice
and on the top of the top pice so you can slide the top with out the bottom moving.
