I scoop them up from the back with a flat hand and then place my thumb on the hard spot on the back, just below the back. making sure both jumping feet are unable to kick off, by letting them pass through my fingers.
Kind of like holding a hamburger upside down.
Haha the girl at the pet store scooped him up just like that.. So she knew how to handle him at least. I was like :O watching her do it.

I got the substrate changed. It wasn't easy. I frog scooped him into a smaller plastic container, covered it with the grate (from the terrarium) and he started kicking and trying to jump!I sung to him and he seemed to calm down a bit. I'm not sure he likes the non-moss that he was used to.. But I know this is safer. Trying to get him back from the container to the tank was a five minute ordeal with me going "Oh geez how are we going to do this?" Eventually I placed the container inside the tank and scooped him out gently..Freaking out the whole time! Leaping 4" frogs are kinda scary for me apparently!

Off to the fishing store to get some worms now. Hopefully he will eat some later!

He just got all cozy into the substrate, that's probably a good sign.

Here's some more photos!

Also, I covered about half of the top with saran wrap, ending about 1" away from the heat lamp to help with humidity.


Closer to 4" I think?






heat lamp now moved to the right and saran wrap over the left part..How does this look?
