How can I not kill it while I learn? Very basic information request

We need pictures for identification before we can tell you temp/humidity and other requirements. Most wild caught species take just fine to crickets.

Still waiting for my sister to send the pictures, but I'd place money its this guy here Boreal chorus frog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , general appearance, size, range, colouration, active period, all seem to match up well.

I would agree with that! You should be able to follow these care instructions - Frog Forum - Pacific Chorus Frog

Edit - Not sure if anyone already said this, but UV lighting is not necessary.

rest assured, there are crickets that small at pet shops. if he is very tiny, you can even go with 'pin-head' crickets, being very small baby crickets. get some calcium/vitD dust and put a couple crix in a container with dust, shake them around, and coat them, then let them into the frog enclosure. keep an eye so crix don't chew on frog, but hopefully your frog is pretty hungry by now.


maybe the term QT tank is misleading. i guess i would call it an 'observational time'. make sure he is eating and pooping and acting normal before you set up your vivarium.
