considering redesigning my fbt habitat

The problem with the dividers is that there is a crucial weak point. The seal where the bottom corners meet the tanks original silicone seal. Silicone won't adhere to previously cited silicone, so over time, that starts leaking. A false bottom or drainage layer would work better.

As far as keeping them out of the tank for a few days, you could always use a cheapo plastic bin for a qt tank.

thanks for your advice, but I think I'm still going to do the divider setup. Several frog owners have done them successfully. @kickinwing I can't find a bigger water dish, and I doubt the tank could support enough water to fill the entire bottom. BTW if your tank is leaky you could probably patch it up with silicone. @deranged chipmunk That's a good idea to use a plastic bin as a temporary enclosure. I will do that.

The way I get around the semi aquatic setup with my bullfrog is to put a layer of rocks up as high as you want the water on one side (your land) then fill up the water, next put the substrate and decor on top of the rocks. pdf tank.pdf

What kind of lid should I use on the bin? (I'm finally getting around to doing this after a ton of procrastination)

I cant wait to see what you come up with! My 10 are in a planted viv so it was a 1 time shot, all i get to do is play with plants lol.

Something like a few gallon tote(tall enough they cant climb out) and a hole lopped in the lid for lights, add bedding and the water bowl.
