Hi,
Thanks for the response I will add the extra information at the bottom. I have to admit I got my first White's at a small local pet store with more experienced handlers where as the little guy came from petco. I have had Kiwi since the 22nd of Jan, so only two weeks. Since getting Kiwi, I did a through cleaning job and re-vamped the new terrarium that my two frogs share. I do not currently have a quarantine tank unless I used the one with my carnivorous plants because I do not have any extra heating sources. Is it possible to put a small enclosed container in the larger terrarium for quarantine? This would allow me to maintain a more stable environment for the quarantine tank.
