Hey people! I sorted out all my ventilation today, Going to keep an eye on the frogs for a few days to check humidity ect. I ended up taking the tops off the tanks and making a pond mesh screen with a few layers of pond mesh and securing it with cable ties. All the sharp bits are on the outside and it looks like a proper bodge job but at least there getting ventilation now. Just means i'll probably have to start keeping an eye out for a better terrarium sooner than i thought.
The lone squirrel frog is still doing well. No signs of stress or illness, He's chomping away on small crickets and his tank is damp and clean. I'm going to do a full clean out in the morning as he's been in the tank over a week now and without the ventilation the tank is a little foysty.
I'll try get some pictures up when i'm cleaning out the tanks and have the frogs in the open. I'm pretty sure taking piccies of a frog that size is going to be a nightmare without stressing them. so Don't be disappointed if i can't get any pics!
Thanks for all your help so far. I'll try keep you all posted on the progress.
As for the captive bred status of these frogs the store owner is 100% sure there captive bred. i know there is some doubt regarding this but i can't see how these animals could have a decent survival rate in long haul transport from the USA. I'll just have to believe him till i find proof to the contrary.
