OK I have a zillion questions for you all, but first here's the background....

So I bought 2 cute, fat, lil frogs from a friend. I believe they are a male & female as one is larger, she had had them for a year. The setup I got included a 10 gallon vertical tank, coconut substrate, a dead looking pillow moss, 2 sticks (no idea if they were sterilized first but I doubt it), a plant, looks like a rubber-tree plant(? but not sure. It's pretty big) a deep pyrex dish for swimming, a jelly jar lid for feeding, various rocks and a bottle of dried meal worms.

I then replaced the bowl & lid with 2 ReptiRock dishes (a small for feeding and medium for splashing in). Chucked the moss covered skinny stick and got a sand blasted grapevine instead (I cut off the sharp nubs, sanded, washed and dried it). Threw out the dead moss and got some moss floor covering, hoping it would be like a meshed together carpet but it's a bit too crumbly and ends up in the water bowl every night. Just took it all out, washed it and am drying it flat, so maybe it will be a bit more carpet like this time? I got an Exoterra mini canopy light with a 13 watt UVB light, which I've only put on for an hour or so a day so far and turn off when they hide under the leaves. And a temperature/humidity checker thingy (ye for being in Tennessee, no problems there so far). Got some small, gut-loaded crickets (& that whole setup) and some live meal worms (the yummy calcium dip). Oh and just glued in a cork background, so that's curing till tomorrow. For now they're in a very shexy plastic tote with all the fixings and seem to be quite enjoying it.

Well that's question 1, how can you tell when they're happy? The smaller one, Mr Hopkins generally hangs out up top and comes down in the evening. The larger one Beryl just sits in the top corner or under the leaf, but my friend tells me she's the big waterbowl fan and makes a mess of it everynight. Hopkins goes dark occasionally not black dark, just darker green is that OK? They don't seem to like the crickets, I rescued 3 out of there when I emptied it out just now. I guess they were hiding in the moss? Is the moss to fluffy? They did eat a live meal worm each just now and another 2 about 5 days ago. I think 1 cricket is AWOL so hopefully he got ate too. Right now they're both mooching around checking out the new digs trying to find a comfy spot. How can you tell when they're stressed?

OK and another big question is to false-bottom or not to false-bottom? is it worth it if I don't have a water feature? should I just put a gravel layer at the bottom for drainage and a false-bottom sheet then the coconut substate?

How do I clean the new cork background?

And what plants are good for AGTF? This rubberplant thingy seems so huge, I also got what I believe is called Spikemoss (but don't worry it's very soft) latin name according to the interwebs is Selaginella and this little guy, absolutely no idea what it is though, other that 2" foilage from Home Depot. Both say they like being kept moist, I know the moss spreads but stays short, thoughts?

And what about their not liking crickets only meal worms, my friend did say she'd spoiled them by pretty much only giving them meal worms. Anyone have any good ideas how to get them back on a healthy diet of less compacting food? Also how the heck are you supposed to dip a cricket in calcium powder? Hee hee

OK I'm sure I'll think of more questions, but for now I'll appreciate all the help I can get, thanks in advance!
