    Hi Lija! The article you linked is a summary of information the authors found and a proposal of ways to conduct related research; but there is no experimental research conducted by authors that provides a backbone for anyone to state frogs need UVB and if so; how much?

    What I'm looking for is a report of actual scientific experimentation in a laboratory. Research with control subjects and statistical analysis; that either supports or not a hypothesis based in the need for UVB light exposure for any frog species. Maybe the authors or others have conducted experiments after this article release? Thank you !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
