Basic Frog First Aid

He is going to need a way to get out of the water soon. He is going to be eating small crickets or fruit flies very soon.

Do they have to be live crickets? What about the dead ones?

[Paul Rust]

I have never fed dead food to my frogs. I know that young frogs have a voracious appetite and you are running out of time...lol
Live crickets aren't that big of a deal to contain and if they do escape they don't live very long.

[doganie]

Maybe I'll try both then. Thanks.
Also, I have no idea how to house it, right now I just took some fish pebbles and put them in a mound for something to climb on, but it doesn't touch it, it seems to like the sides of the container though. I read how to make a vivarium, but is it too young for that?
Thanks again.

Congratulations! That is a Pacific chorus frog. Looks great too. here, look this over. He is ready to come out of the water. You can look in my albums under Pseudacris.regilla and see my setup if you want. He needs to be eating fruit flies right now.

I bought some coconut fiber for the vivarium, after I soak it do I use it while it is still damp or do I dry it out first?

[doganie]

So the coco fiber is slightly damp but not too much. My parents wouldn't let me buy a fish tank because we have one, but it's in storage right now. The tadpole/froglet seems to be doing fine in the tupperware container though. In the "food-dish" there are some crushed up amphibian pellets and a dead cricket from a can. My mom wouldn't let me buy live crickets because the packages of live crickets were packed a week ago and most of them were dead anyways. The plant is fake, but it works as something for the tadpole to climb on. Please tell me if anything major is missing, thanks.

The tape makes it look so bad ... lol, well atleast it works
