WTF in 16 gallon storage bin?

[elly]

Yeah if the frogs were sharing a tank before you got them there's no reason to put them in separate places unless the tank's too small. Honestly I can't picture a ten gallon tank in my mind. It might be a little small?

If they aren't going to be there long it might not be bad.

10-gallons way too small, at least 20-gals and larger is best

Sorry if I wasn't clear, the 10 gallon tank is a quarantine tank, as well as the 16 gallon bin. Does this change things? The frogs at the pet store are kept in 5.5 gallon tanks, so I thought that a 10 gallon tank would be alright just for quarantining purposes.

I take it they're babies then? But I would go larger if they're adults so you can provide proper heat and light gradients. You don't. We'd to quarantine them really unless you're putting them in with hours or believe that they may be diseased. You can just put them in their normal housing but keep it simple until they're established

They're about an inch in length. I don't know how old that would make them.. Also, I was wondering, as I can't find some solid info on this, but when do the males croak? Is it only during breeding season?

Just wrote a reply and didn't go through, grrr!

It's hard to tell the age by size, since different feeding schedules and temperatures can result in slower or faster growth,but they are juveniles and can be kept in a 10-gallon for some time no problem.

i would expect calling within the first year under a good feeding and proper temperatures, after a rise in humidity after misting. But you may need to wait until the second year and keep the humidity lower and temperatures warmer for a few months. They're not really good frogs for hobbyists to breed though due to clutch size, unless you have plenty of space, equipment and food

I've listened to some videos of males croaking, and I'm worried the frog will get quite loud haha! I would like a male and female, but i don't want to end up with eggs someday, so should I get either male and male or female and female, or would a male and a female work out okay together?
