    If you do get another frog, you'll need to get one of the same species and size. Size because they do eat smaller frogs and species because different species of frogs have different levels of toxins in their skin and frequent contact can make one frog or the other sick over the long run.

    Also I mostly agree with Amy about handling, but it might be a good idea to get the frog a little bit used to you for those times when you absolutely have to pick the frog up, say for a vet trip. Maybe try putting your hand in the tank and letting him climb on, or doing very minimal handling. If you decide to do that do make sure your hands don't have soap residue or anything. It may help to wear powder-free latex gloves.

    There's still the danger that he'll escape so keep that in mind when deciding whether or not to handle.

    Yes. The moss went with the gravel. It was a very temporary set up.

    Yeah they shouldn't have either of those, did you take them out already? I'm sorry about your froggy, I bet that's pretty scarey, I would freak out if mine did that. It makes me think it may be some type of worms. Did it move at all? I didn't read all of the previous comments, did anyone mention you getting a fecal test on him? That would be a good idea. What's his poo look like? Is he any better now?
