Here is my Stitch!

Have you owned him for the full 4 years? the reason I ask is because I bet he would really appreciate it if you swapped out some of that brick for something he can burrow into. Like a coco fibre or something similar. Just a little suggestion, and nice frog by the way.

In a book I have I seen them cut holes in foam pads which the frogs would go into, a lot like they're natural habitat and very cool. Coir is great too but with the water section it would just be dragged in and make a mess of it.What he's using is certainly not the worst thing but a plant or hide would be best placed above for some cover. I seen an african bull frog kept on a shallow layer of bark at a reptile rescue centre, can you believe that?

Yes, i bought this frog when he was young
I noticed a thing: with this set up of terrarium, the frog is more active; when i got cocofiber the frog was always in the pit and didnt use water...

mmm, sorry but my english is not too good and i didnt understand the point ...your advice is to add something in the terrarium where the frog can hide himself?

Yeah just cos there's no burrowing medium. It doesn't have to be a hide but just some cover like fake plants

I would keep it on the cooler side and not heat it aslong as its not too cold (below 75f )and there is a higher tempature on the surfice but 85-87 is perfect. Is he going in the water often?

oh i didnt read this question, i answer now my frog goes in the water 2-3 times a day

when i had cocofiber (instead of bricks) the frog never went in the water, i can easily say that in a year Stitch touched water once (or probably 0).

Ok! ill found something to let him cover a bit

He probably never went to the water much when you had the cocofibre because he was absorbing enough water from it that he didn't feel the need to hydrate himself. They absorb the water through there skin so if the substrate is damp and the air is kept at a stable and correct humidity it would make him not feel the need to waste the energy going to the water. Some people don't even use water bowls in there bullfrog enclosures and just give them a soak once or twice a month. Im not telling you to change your setup so please don't think that, I just thought maybe you didn't know why he wasn't going to the water when you had the substrate instead of the brick and just thought I would post this just in case. And again nice looking frog, hes a monster!!!

Oh! i thought the same, so i wasn't too much worry By the way thank you guy!

The fact that it is now obliged to move more, I think it can be more healthy, are you agree?
