Thanks SO much for the reply and taking the time.

high humidity and TB issues-humidity I know about but please explain TB in frogspeak; in birdspeak this literally means tuberculosis as we still see it in certain species!

I had my doubts about the "nose" thing. I will check the other two again for pads over the weekend. I am pretty sure they are all the same age as they were all about 1.25 inches when I got them.

My to-do item is to increase the amount of UV. They are very driven in all ways by light; exactly 5 minutes after I turn off their day bulb the boys begin to croak, for a few minutes only. It is like announcing their whereabouts.

Am obsessive about the water so that is good.

They are doing much better taking dubias, but so far no dice on waxworms, calci-worms, mealworms or basically anything in a dish; they want to hunt. That was the problem initially, the dubs were too slow-moving to excite them-until I fasted them for a few days to get them to try and now I place them on the screen in sight of the frogs and if they see movement they will stare at it all night until it moves again.

I have much confusion about the cycling period-some people on the forum say to feed them heavily before that period, and some say to feed LESS; this seems a pretty important point not to mess up! Logic tells me in fall-like conditions food would be LESS plentiful, and with "spring rains" would come more abundant food, or do I have this backwards? And how cold and how dry do you recommend?
