Substrate for WTF and other concerns.

Yes it is. He has more fight than I have.

Update:

Everything seems to be going OK with the WTF. (Thanks guys!) Haven't named it yet... I don't want to do so until it starts to look super healthy.

Compared to the pics of "Dumper" my frog looks thin... I don't think it was fed sufficiently at the pet shop.

Current diet: 2-4 medium crickets / day, calcium dusted once or twice / week. Please let me know if adjustment is necessary. I will try and get some pics up soon.

My new concern is that my habitat is improperly designed. It is not an upright habitat (and only 20 gallons), I know this is a flaw and will try to remedy it soon. (This is probably why it ends up with a mouthful of dirt occasionally) During its sleep cycle, it climbs up pretty high behind some of the fake leaves and hides, so it looks like it's not completely bad.

If someone could direct me to pics/descriptions of optimal habitat design, I would appreciate it.

One more thing: how often should I expect it to shed and eat its old skin? I've seen it doing it once (I thought it was yawning), but that was over a week ago.

Dumper was chubby when I got him. He eats about the same as yours does.. except I feed him about 3 large crickets a night and dust them with a vitamin supplement twice a week. Dumper lives in a 20 gallon tall tank that I created for him using 2 cheap 10 gal. tanks stacked on top of each other to form one tall one (bottom removed from the top tank). I have yet to see him climb to the top, and he is usually on the ground or on a branch half way up somewhere.

This is from my experience and I'm very much a newbie, but Dumper went through a growing phase and I noticed him shed around twice a week from the time I got him until last week. During this time, just about all his scars have faded (he was a mess when I first got him) and he's grown over a half an inch. I haven't noticed him shedding lately, but it starts without notice and only takes him a couple minutes to suck it down, so I may have missed it.

You may want to get a fecal float done, to check for gastrointestinal parasites. An overall health check couldn't hurt.
