    Thank you, Jason, for this information. I will discuss it with the teachers at the preschool and see if we can't incorporate these changes to our bullfrog's environment.

    All animals (accept from perhaps cave dwellers or mole salamanders) need a photoperiod, about 12 hours light and 12 darkness suits most. So, a fluorescent light on the tank needs to be used. The tank needs to be heated to 80-85 during the day and down to 75F at night. You can use a ceramic heat emitter or nocturnal heat lamp on a thermostat. If they do feed at lower temperatures, the food will not be digested and it can rot inside, causing bloating and death. As frogs are cold blooded, they rely on environmental temperatures for the body to function properly and so it's essential that they be provided with temperatures that mimic the wild. I would definitely put a background on the tank and provide cork bark and artificial plants for hiding. No bark chips! This is extremely dangerous to African bullfrogs, they get over excited and may eat piece and it's usually not digested, so surgery is needed to remove it. Coco fiber is best, provide 2-3 inches for burrowing and keep it moist. Offer pink to fuzzy mice on occasion to provide essential vitamins and dubia roaches are a favourite of mine. Mind to always gutload and dust the insects with calcium and multivitamins
