1)Now I haven't completely measured (letting the little guy settle in) but it appears to to be about 3" SVL. I just did a little. Peek in and heard a very very faint sound. Upon listening closer it was almost a chirp? Now I know it's a bit small still be is my research correct in that that is a female noise?

2)specs of tank: aprox 78 F, aprox 88% humid. 10 gallon, touch less than 2" of Eco earth. Corner water bowl, silk aquarium plants (cleaned with piping hot water.)
(Getting better gauge in two weeks)

3) shop only fed mice. I know that should truly be a max of 1/month due to fat content. Ill be feeding night crawlers & crickets dusted with vitamins 1/week and calcium every other feeding or so.

How am I doing? And is there any personal experience you can give that might add to my researched knowledge? Thanks!!

Would love to see some pics and welcome to the forum, congrats on your frog!

1. At 3" you should see nuptial pads if frog has any.
2. You gotta fix it, temp at night should be 76-78, day 80-82, humidity 70-80, never higher then 80, yours is way way too high. You may want to add some more exo earth. Do you have 3 sides of the enclosure covered?
3. You got it right, be prepared though it might be tough to convince a guy that worms are food too, if he never got any. I would stick to nightcrawler diet for at least few months, s/he had enough mice already.
