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.

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

Exactly! And even then, when you think you have things figured out, you get a frog that doesn't follow the book exactly and you have to make adjustments. For instance, if I keep the humidity in my grey tree frog tank to the level that most recommend, I have one male that goes into a panic attack trying to escape. So I keep the humidity a little lower and they have a cycled pond area in their tank where they can do plenty of soaking if need be. But he threw me through a loop because I was doing what was *supposed* to be right and it wasn't working!

Haha it's like we said, all a learning process! I just want this frog to have a great life.
