Hi everyone,

My title on this is supposed to be New to owning RETFs, not sure if I'm doing it right.
I received my RETFs on Feb 20th and am still learning a lot of what I should and should not be doing. I have done a lot of research and read a lot of your guys' posts and there are quite a few controversial opinions still. I would love to express my concerns and get input on how I am doing so far.

Frogies
I have three babies, at least one boy and one girl, but no idea what's what. One is bigger than the others and is the one I am sort of concerned about, she (I think a she because of her length) seems very skinny, and slightly odd colored, aside from normal color variations. I have never seen them soak, and for the first time saw her soak today when I transferred them in order to clean their tank. When I put her back is when I noticed her looking odd, but in the temporary tank she looked brilliant lime green. So I am not sure if she got nervous, I have been on here paranoid, looking at diseases and reading up on everything and now I am scared my frogs have red leg or something :-/ I feel like a worried mother. Anyway...
The second frog has some white spots on him, or 'birth marks' as I found out, I thought at one point that he had oodium (spelling?), but they have never changed, so I came to the conclusion that they are nothing to worry about.
The third seems small. I worry that he isn't getting enough to eat. But he had plenty of opportunity tonight in the temp cage. So who knows.
Every night I try to sneak up and see if any are soaking and they never are... So let me explain my habitat.



Habitat
I have a 12x12x18 Exo-Terra terrarium. In it I have half water and half land. I originally bought different live mosses, then noticed bugs despite checking it and rinsing it. So I got nervous and took it all out in case something harmed the frogs. I do not have a water bowl, because of the whole half water thing, I figured they would soak in there, there is a blue LED light underneath the water and river rock. I have a fake hanging plant, and two live ones in the water as well as some driftwood for them to perch on. Until tonight I did not have a filter and probably didn't change the water as often as I should have. I mist them a few times a day. When I do spray them directly they lift themselves up into the water I am spraying, if they are awake. They don't seem to mind it. Anyway, so tonight I changed the set up to all water bottom (river rocks and LED light underneath), added a filter and a hose running water up the back and trickling it down the background. The light is more for a night light because the frogs are in my sons room, but it barely gets used. The temperature is a steady 74 degrees F. And the humidity varies. If I notice it getting low I mist everything, so between 60 and 80. I put a wash cloth over part of the top screen because I was misting a lot everyday and sometimes wouldn't notice the humidity was low until it was in the thirties. I am thinking about getting a few little fish just so they can help keep the water clean. I feel like I am doing things too advanced for my stage in frog raising, but I like the set up I have and would like to figure out how to keep things more effective.


Health, Feeding etc.
Other than what I have already stated during the day they all look great. Nice lime green color, orange toes, and a white/blueish belly. At night their colors change. I am going to attach a picture as to why I am concerned they may have red leg. But the more I logically think about it the more I think they may have been just freaked out because I moved them, the only other time I have held them is when I originally put them in the habitat, otherwise I have always cleaned it while they sleep during the day. I felt like I wasn't getting as good of a clean as I wanted so that's why I chose to do it while they were awake this time.
I was putting about 50 small dusted crickets in at night every few days. Some escape, some drown and some find their way behind the styrofoam. I buy the gut loaded ones if I don't have time to let regular ones eat. But if I do I typically feed them carrots. I got flightless fruit flies once, the frogs didn't eat them, instead they laid larvae in my habitat, so I had to clean that and all the drowned corpses out. I read to put the crickets in a glass bowl, which I may try now that I have an all water bottom. I can rest it on the rocks and hopefully I wont have so many drowned crickets. The first week they didn't eat, which I found was normal. I also thought they sent an albino one by mistake because the color was so light, but then it turned green and found out it must have been cold and stressed from shipping. They all poop normally, it is normal looking, only a couple times it has looked mucusish. They barely eat in front of me but they aren't shy to poop and pee. I don't know if I have included everything, but I hope so.

Also, is it normal for them not to make any sound yet? If i had to guess I would say they are a couple months old. They haven't fully developed the color on their sides, it is slowly coming in as time passes, so I figured maybe they don't have strong lungs or something yet.



If anyone has helpful tips please feel free to share. Thank you.
