Meet jabba the hut

[Louis Charles Bruckner]

When I keep the eco earth properly moistened my zoomed repti fogger hardly ever comes on.
I keep the hygro them set to 84F during the day and 78 at night and 70% rh
When I had it set to 80%rh he has some adema around his chin. but keeping the rh% to 70 solved that.

Oh ok so I'll just keep up with the misting then. Your little man is beautiful. I'm so excited to have jabba, it's going to be fun. And you are correct I have no clue what he was fed I do know that he was kept in one of those little cricket keepers so his temps were probably not right and the moss was his substrate with his previous owner. Poor little jabba. Hopefully he will not have any problems because of all of that. I have many "exotic" pets and a vet ready so if need be he will be brought in. I checked on him before I left and he was still completely covered, loving life I assume. I'm gonna make a new thread and post pictures of my zoo.

The light dome Louis mentioned is one with dimmer by Fluckers. Make sure your day temps are 82F with a few degree drop at night and the humidity is between 70-80%. You can use aluminum foil to block top screen and help achieve those numbers. Try and get some not dyed night crawlers at Walmarts or local bait shop. They are very nutritious and can be cut from pointy end to frog length pieces to feed smaller frogs .

Ok quick question will jabba just come out when he is hungry? Can I just put a few crickets in there and he will eat when he wants or should I uncover him so he can see them?

[Louis Charles Bruckner]

babies need to eat almost daily,
so just uncovering their eyes and putting in a few crickets at a time is ok.
I wouldn't leave crickets over night as they can bite your frog
and having crickets running around when the frog is not hungry can stress it out.

This also might be a good time to tong train your frog if possible.

Ok so I uncovered his eyes and put a cricket in there on the tongs. He missed a few times but he eventually got the hang of it he buried himself after three medium sized crickets so I guess he had his fill I also got the night crawlers but didn't feed him yet since I can not bring myself to cut them down to size so I will leave that up to the husband lol
