    You do not have to throw out the substrate mixed with purified water. Just bag it (leave bag open) so it airs out and dry. Then you can mix with dechlorinated water when needed and use later.

    Do read this two articles and remember that crickets should be sized same as distance between frog's eyes and gut loaded for 24-48 hours with carrots, lettuce, and cherios cereal: Frog Forum - Pacman and Horned Frogs - Ceratophrys - Care and Breeding; and http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...schedules.html.

    Temperature and humidity parameters are sometimes difficult to maintain in a small critter keeper. If that is so; recommend get a 10G tank (future home for frog when it reaches 3-3.5 in.) and stabilize that to 70-80% humidity and 82F daytime with a few degrees drop at night. then you place the whole critter keeper inside. Good luck !
    Ok. I finished setting up his 10 gallon tank...but not much in it now because he's in the keeper inside the tank. I re did the substrate and put a plant in his keeper ..i will put more in when he gets in the big tank. I put in a thermometer and a hygrometer and a uth on the side. My question is how humid should it stay and what temp range is best. It's in the upper to mid 70s in our house.. does he need the heater on?
    Also I bought a box of live small crickets ... are those ok? He's pretty tiny. How often should I feed one this small. He's about the size of a half dollar coin
