Re: My first frog! (common gray)
Congrats! Make sure your spring water is dechlorinated, depending where it is bottled, it could still have chloramines in it. Eventually, you'll want to get more plant cover in there. Enjoy your new friend!
There is an awesome care sheet on here that taught me a lot about caring for my greys when I first came here (and I admit, you're already at a much better start than I had when I got my first frog) Frog Forum - Gray Tree Frog Care and Breeding

Re: My first frog! (common gray)
im not trying to be a downer but (s)he might have a family parasites or something else just think about his needs can you care for a wild frog it might not eat and did in the wild (s)he will est so if it was me i would let him go and buy a captive bred one and let him go where you found him but be hoppy
Re: My first frog! (common gray)
I typically agree with that sentiment. Here in Wisconsin though, it is illegal to buy or sell grey tree frogs. It is legal to collect them with a fishing license and possess up to 5 at a time. That's mostly to prevent them being caught and sold as fishing bait. We have an abundance of them here in SE Wisconsin and their numbers are not currently in any danger here. I am okay with someone who is willing to learn about them and care for them properly. I am NOT okay with the bait shops that collect them by the hundreds and sell them to fishermen. I didn't catch any of my grey tree frogs, but they were all taken from the wild (and one from a basement) by others and eventually given to me.Originally Posted by brian c

Fecal testing would be a good idea though, especially if you want to own other frogs in the future, you do not want to accidentally pass anything between tanks.

Re: My first frog! (common gray)
yeah im a little ok with that but still they might have a family...
Re: My first frog! (common gray)
I understand and appreciate your concern. I have read the care sheet on this site, and information from other sources and do feel that I can care for this frog. She is eating well and appears healthy and happy. As a matter of fact, she is hot on the trail of a cricket right now...
As for the water, I am using "Ice Mountain 100% pure spring water". Doesn't say anything about any additives... doesn't seem to be adversly affecting the frog...
