So so happy you found the forum and looking for answers! And no, your questions are not stupid, they are just right, I can tell you care very much for your frog, welcome to the forums!

First of all I have a feeling your Olaf is in fact Olafa lol anyhow check nuptial pads, but first you gotta do a lot of things here, pretty much change absolutely everything except the frog of course lol

Carlos covered it all, except locally nobody sells Dubia or any other roaches lol, it is Canada
tank is the least of problems here! But if you could measure it we could tell you more, based on pics it is all right.
After diet like that I would not feed mice at all for a while so her body would process all she had eaten. And I can totally can relate, I don't like heat mats at all! Infrared lamp plugged in thermostat is a way to go.
You can get hydrotherm (ebay would be your best bet), in stores they are 2x more, plug in infrared lamp and fogger and live worry free about temps and humidity.

Oh and you need to get a good gauges, digital are the most accurate.


Thanks for the quick responses, everyone!
Olafa.. haha oh no! Not a male? Is it because of the frog's size or colour that you say that?
I tried to measure him just now, and without getting too close, I'm going to say 4.5" from head to tail.
Mind you, that's in his "I'm going to be a gelatinous blob now" mode.
I'm going to try and get the moss out and put the proper substrate in today. Sooo.. Frog scoop and move him to a smaller container while I work? Is that how you clean your terrariums? Thanks for the tip on using the proper substrate Mentat!

Should I be leaving the heat lamp on 24/7 then? It's not that bright but it does get hot and I panicked last night when I was going to bed and turned it off. I have an irrational fear of fires, I think. :| Of course the temp dropped too much by this morning.. Ergg I feel like an idiot,the least I could do is keep his temperature stable..

Difference between a nightcrawler and a Canadian nightcrawler? IS this like where people in the states say Canadian bacon and for us it's just normal 'ol bacon? haha

Going to go look at some older threads now and get some more information.
