    Default Exo Terra 12x12x18 Advice

    So I recently moved to an apartment, and I need to move my American Lola into it. The problem, she lives in a 20 gallon, and I live on the 3rd floor. So I recently acquired a 12x12x18 Exo Terra cage, that she will temporarily go in for maybe a month or so until I can find some way to get her a bigger cage. She's only 2 inches long, will she be okay? Will she die of stress? I need some good advice.

    12x12x18? She'll be fine space wise. The move will stress her. Just make the new tank as close to the old tank as possible. Try to make her nice and comfy. (The move from a 20 gallon mansion to a common household can be tough for an aristocratic frog)

    Here's her new cage. I put her in it and she immediately freaked out, so I fed her to teach her that she will be fed in this tank and its good. Should I keep her in there overnight?
