One thing I really like about damp paper towels is there is no way to miss poop! You're gonna see that thing for sure, unless the frog manages to hide it between plant leaves or in the decor somewhere.

-They are, but I don't think he's a fan of them. Im hoping he'll poop in the feeding tank so ill be able to get a nice and clean sample (as clean as it can be anyway) but as long as he does it, I'll be happy haha


These guys don't always burrow, but they can when preparing to shed or to try to find a cooler spot in the tank.

- I had no idea that they burrow before shedding, that's probably why he burrowed in the first place! He started shedding the second day. How often do they shed? Ive seen him do it twice in a month.

Some of my guys (Shirley and Jelly Bean usually) come out right after I turn the main lights off and their red nightlights on. Others (like Honey-Lime) take their sweet time to wake up, and my grumpy Dump, Martha, generally won't come out of her cocohut hide, so I need to take that out of her tank to try and encourage her to be a tree frog... doesn't always work as she'll find some other place in there to tuck into. Weird frog, lol. Just watch quietly for a bit after the lights go out and if you have a red nighttime heat light you will be able to see when your guy comes out for the evening.

-Ive hung around and watched him to see if he'd do anything but he usually stays in his plants. Like I said though, his water bowl is usually dirty when I wake up so he must come down at least for a little bit. Is a red light better than a purple one? He has a purple one now, but the gecko has red. Not sure which is best but I use the purple for night as well as heat all day.

I feed Shirley & Honey either by hand, bowl or free in a bare bottomed tank, depending on what they are getting to eat and if it is medicated or not, Jelly usually eats free in his house (if he ever gets big and greedy enough to rip off a piece of paper towel, the way Shirley can, he'll be fed in a bare bottom tank. Lucy has a glass feeder bowl with 2" sides, which usally keeps the crickets in, unless they get scared and jump out or they climb up Lucy's back and escape! Martha usually eats when I drop crickets in front of her, but lately she's been letting the darn things escape into the tank-- they wind up going into the rocks around her water dish and perishing there if she doesn't get them, so that's rather a pain to have to get them out of there.

-i have also tried putting crickets in front of him and holding them for him but he wouldn't eat that way. So picky! Haha

Sounds like Jeremy is doing pretty good!
& Im glad to hear that he seems healthy! That makes me so happy and relieved (:
