Ah thats great these are my 1st frogs in 20 years so after there settled and mature ill try. seems to be very little info on these guys compared to say whites or darts. Dont suppose any one knows of a fogger is bad for them in any way is it ( breathing ot otherwise)?

I have one set to go of every 10 min of every hour for 6 hours of the day helps keep my humidity at 60% but they love to sit under it

based on the ones i have, they dont like humidity much higher than 60% and they really enjoy fresh air. Also, they do like to swim at nighttime if they have the option. Mine run around the glass quite often (i have 3 in a 55 gallon so there is plenty of room)

There isnt much information on them.

I did get a very helpful article from one of the members on here that i can email to you if you PM me your email... it has about all the info i can find

There is only 1 recorded breeding in history in captivity (that doesnt mean there arnt others...but its rare lol)

The females and males are more than happy in groups so if you have the ability to get more go for it. The frogs are considered vulnerable by the IUCN because of deforestation in Tanzania

The calling sounds like a small clack or peep... my male has done it rarely.

How large are yours right now?

have sent you a pm

their about 3-4cm each.

getting a little worried as they have not eaten for days i have put 4 crickets in the glass tub and left them in over night approx 12 hours and no ones eating. The bigger one had 1 cricket on sat night. Are they just stressed with the move or is it the glass bowl you think?

I dont understand they dont hide and even some over for kiss if you put face near the glass

Sounds like they are full grown. The girl may get a little larger.

The first thing i would say is they look like they were fed well in the pet store, so you may have to give them a day or two extra to relax and digest

I was worried your next post would say they weren't eating x.x

Keep a close eye on them. Lepto's seem to get stressed really easy, based off what I and other Ulu owners have noticed, and can sometimes die from it . Keep an eye on the crickets and the weight of your two frogs. If the bones in their backs start to stick out too far you may have to hand feed them but use that ONLY as a last resort..and i mean LAST cause it can stress them out more.

My Ulu's had to be hand fed (excluding the male) for about a month... we THINK they are eating because the crickets are disappearing from the bowl...but it could just be that somehow the crickets are getting out. So we are keeping a good eye on them.

The Ulu's are really sociable to me they seem to enjoy attention and as soon as they see you are more than happy to try get your attention

They are gorgeous frogs... when they stare at you with their huge round eyes, its just amazing. Keep the photos coming when you get more

And here is another care sheet i found

Tanzanian spotted big eye frog Leptopelis uluguruensis

Thanks again. What i found odd is i have just come in from work and both Rib "N" Bit (thats right the wife called them rib and bit lol) hurled them selfs to the my side of the tank and give a big blink like "hi dad"??

The store said they were fed on friday so Rib (female) had 1 criket sunday night and Bit (male) has just eaten 1 we think as we are a criket missing

Man i going to get some darts instead less stresss i think
