Have some questions about ACF...

[tgampper]

I was just worrying if the bamboo could have done anything?

I don't think the bamboo had anything to do with the death of your ADFs. Their infection was probably the result of being stressed out during shipping and poor husbandry at the pet store. I kept ADFs in the past, but I find ACFs to be more exciting and interesting to keep.

Are there certain types of gravel that would be best fit? I know this kind is sort of small...

The only problem I see with small gravel is if the frogs swallow it when eating or digging. After all digging is what these frogs do best, ever wonder why they have claws?

The light I have is a small, bluish colored light. It's not too bright; It seems to only light up the tip of the ornaments rather than the whole tank itself, which I assume is probably a good thing.

I don't see a problem with the way you have the lights set up. Bright lights will stress the frogs out. Using a dimmer switch might work out too. Plenty of hiding places will help reduce stress.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

Thank you!

I have the light on now; she really seems to be enjoying sitting on/ sleeping in the bamboo. It dosn't seem to be bothering her at all.

I did notice though, she was moving back and forth oddly... almost like there was a current she was swimming against, but there isn't any... I think she might be shedding skin? Something very wispy and thin; saw her shoving it in her mouth... and when she was eating it, she did this weird thing with her eyes I never saw before... like they sunk in?

I dont ever recall my bro's frog doing such... then again, that was 12 years ago...

I think when I clean the tank I will go out and buy some bigger gravel then...

Hi there Tylon and welcome to the forum .

It sure sounds like your frog is shedding to me. The sinking of the eyes is something frogs often will do during eating as it helps them to swallow their food.

I use bamboo all the time in my enclosures dried and growing. it's perfectly safe as long as there no sharp edges.
