Use only dechlorinated water to soak the coconut coir in. Do not use tap water by itself. The coir needs to be wrung out. Don't feed your frog meal worms. They are not good for Horned Frogs. Dust the crickets with a vitamin supplement like Repitivite and ReptoCal. Do not use an ultraviolet light. What are you keeping the frog in? The best container would be a 10 gallon aquarium tank.

Ok so I'm going to change his substrate then. Is PURIFIED DRINKING WATER ok do I need to dechlorinate it too? He is in a 10 gallon tank. Im switching to a 40w night bulb now too. Crickets are dusted. I'm a bearded dragon O so I'm kind of familiar with care.

Hi I'm not sure what you mean by purified water but if you mean distilled or reverse osmosis I would just stick to tap water with declorinator. If this is what you mean by Purified water it lacks some of the vital nutrients the frog needs, and a bottle of declorinator will last along time. You want to use the tap for expanding the substrate and for his water dish, but you could use a distilled or R/O water for misting plants and the glass. When expanding the substrate you are right that you want to squeeze some of that water out, a good rule to use is you want it to clump in your hand when squeezing it but don't want to have water pouring out of it. For the feeding if you just got him he might just need some time to settle, lots of them will do this. if you cover 3 sides of his enclosure with a back ground or even some dark construction paper this will help him settle a little faster. For the crickets if he doesn't eat them within an hour or 2 I would take them out and just try again the next night. Also I find the best time to feed is at night about an hour after his lights go out and the temps have dropped a few degrees. Hope this helps you out a bit.
