    Going to tell something you won't like it all is not going to be that pretty for long, you know that right? And you will need to change the substrate once a month too. Is he eating?

    Hahah I figured that...I want to at least make it look nice while I still can. He's eating but not much...first day I brought him home he ate 2 night crawlers...then 1 cricket since he's been home. And I've had him since Sunday.

    I'm going bioactive so hopefully I don't have to change too much substrate....I was thinking 20/30% of it. Let's see how that goes haha!

    Lol okay then. Good news - he is eating! Meaning not stressed out in that big tank. Bad news - bio active and big frogs that produce tons of waste just don't go together. But hey it looks nice now!

    We all go through a learning process when we're starting I learned a lot in the first month of frog ownership and that was after doing "quick research" before buying what I thought I needed. I also made the mistake of getting advice from a petsmart teenage employee.
    2.0.3 Hyla versicolor "Eastern Gray Tree Frogs"
    2.2.0 Agalychnis callidryas "Red Eyed Tree Frogs"
    0.0.3 Dendrobates auratus "Turquoise and Bronze"
    0.0.1 Anaxyrus fowleri "Fowler's Toad"

    Lol but I love every minute of it! Funny how I was just telling my friends that exact thing. No matter how much research you do..it will never prepare you to actually hold a frog in your hand lolol
