R/O water for substrate and soaking bowl

[DesertHeat]

Swap out the substrate with new substrate hydrated with dechlorinated tap water, fill the water bowl with dechlorinated tap water. R/O is probably fine for misting as long as you don't directly spray your frog.

I doubt one or two days has done any lasting harm to your frog. Just get everything swapped out as soon as possible

Hi mike,
first of all welcome to the forum and being a new frog parent.

Desertheat is completely correct.

There is a great care sheet here for packman frogs. (click me)

It has a lot of good info.

I am curious of what kind of setup you have and how old is your new frog.
and how big it is.

if it can sit on a quarter and you can still see the quarter the little one might be
a tad scared in anything larger than a small critter carrier.

So pictures of the frog and the current setup would be helpful.
BTW we love pictures!!

Desertheat and Louis, thank you for the replies and info! I was afraid that I would have to swap everything out. I don't mind doing it at all. The only problem is that I have to drive 80 miles round trip to get everything and that means he will have to hang out in it until later today. Would that be a problem? Also, should I get everything out while his lights are out or during lights on? He was stressed out for the first few hours then he settled down and dug him a little "nook" to hangout in and I'm hate to dig him out lol. I can't say for sure that he hasn't eaten but I haven't seen him eat and no signs of bathroom so will this switch set him back even further on him getting use to his new surroundings? He is in a 10 gal aquarium with 3" of coco and maybe a 1/2" of sphagnum moss on top. Bought a cheesy little ground cover from Walmart yesterday because I felt like he may have felt too open in there. He is definitely bigger than a quarter, and probably bigger than a half dollar as well. The guy at petsmart said he was under a year old, but couldn't say how old for sure. Any eagle eyes out there that can tell how old he is? I can get better pics if need be. Thanks guys! I feel at home
