    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?

    Least if he moves more he wont be a slob! In captivity they are, were as in the wild they would be somewhat active as they stalk prey, fight other males and dig streams for their tadpoles

    Ya I agree that its probably better that he moves around then just sit in one place all the time. They might not move around all day long in the wild but for a bigger frog they can be active as Jason said and they do swim and stuff. They may not be the most gracefull and fastest swimmers but they can swim if need be. L.O.L

    Such a beautiful beast of an animal. I'm so jealous. They're rarely offered in sale where I come from, probably because of the facilities needed in order to breed and the amount of offspring they produce, it would be easier in warmer climates and countries with a high demand of amphibians. I must get one some day, even if I pay a few hundred for it!
