Coco fiber debate..?

[LealaRain]

He's here!

He's the size of a quarter!

And is not the same one as the photo I posted before. Even better!!

He already got all covered in the coco fiber. How do we clean that off, just drop some water drops on him, or?

I put in a very shallow water dish and placed him inside. He seems happy, hasn't left it yet.

Also, how do you sex these little ones?

He was purchased from Underground Reptiles for $30.

Congrats on your little one ! Now is the time to teach frog to eat from tongs. Either plastic or plastic tipped stainless steel ones are OK. Not dyed night crawlers (from Walmart or bait store) are the best food for it. Cut them with a sharp scissor from pointy end into mouth sized pieces for up to 1.5 in. and body length for bigger frogs. You will need to add supplements; more info on that i here: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...schedules.html. Crickets should be same or smaller than distance between frog's eyes and gut loaded with carrots, lettuce, and cherios.

The substrate should be mixed with dechlorinated tap until it clumps in fist without dripping water out. Spot clean daily and change it once a month. More on their care in here: Frog Forum - Pacman and Horned Frogs - Ceratophrys - Care and Breeding .

Thanks!! I'm familiar with supplements, hand feeding, etc... used to breed leopard geckos and I hand fed all 70 of them

I do need to find more info on sexing these little ones.. I'll check out that second link, thanks!

You might not want to hand feed him lol

dont worry about sexing him now, you will be able too when he is 2,5-3"

You do NOT want to teach your frog to eat from your hands. They are much larger than leopard geckos and everytime the frog sees your hand it will think of food and attack your hand. Plus it is unsanitary to hand feed them. Amphibians are very sensitive.

By hand-feed, I meant using tongs.. I use my hands to hold the tongs so I've always termed it hand-feeding.. sorry for the confusion.

He ate last night and once this morning! Just one little bite each time, but it's something
