    And we will continue helping if you would like us to do so, to set up tank properly, how to test/treat and more. But im sorry it just breaks my heart to hear about frog (any animal) suffering and owner that is making excuses... It is really sad.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    I do understand that some might be concerned, but please understand that any mistakes I might be making are not from malicious intent. This is still a learning process for me and I do appreciate the info that was given. Remember we were all noobs once

    Update: The terrarium is scheduled for delivery tomorrow so I'll begin the process of making it nice. Does anyone know a good place to get corkbark backgrounds?

    Hi,
    Please see post # 15...
    Brian has super comments for you!
    My tree frogs LOVE waxworm moths. They will pupate quickly.
    When I buy the wax worms, I intentionally purchase the ones that have already started to pupate.
    This way you will not have to wait so long for the moths

    Remember, Inrk is it OK to keep the frog in a QT setting or an extended period of time.
    You're able to monitor the frog very closely in QT. It benefits you and the frog.
    If the frog is now in your care....well you can't go backwards. Forward is good, this is not rocket science
    It will all work out. It is obvious you want to take good care of him!

    I hope he takes a worm. Please keep us posted.

    Update: The terrarium has arrived and he has been rehoused! Feedings have been going well, and I think he will be much happier overall. I have attached some pics so you can see what I did.

    These show the before and after, as well as the frog.

    Let me know what you think, as well as any improvements that should be done.

    The frog looks really good, only thing I would suggest is maybe a large leaf potted plant to help with humidity and for him to hang out on during the day while sleeping. Mine also love the magnatural ledges.

    The substrate looks too dry also. Get some branches in there, make it like a tree.

    Here are some shots of my AGTF (1.1.0) set up. It's an Exo Terra 18x18x24 will drilled bottom. Just thought it might give you some ideas for add-ins.
