Building a new one!

Mine never really burrow, they are usually visible. My microps use their hide box about 75% of the time. My bifasciatus are usually not hidden much. Of course the more you have the more likely you are to see them.

Actually, the more I look up these little frogs, the more I like them. I only buy my frogs from one place, so I am going to phone them today and see if they are available for me.

I am having a hard time finding a care sheet on them-could jot down some basics for me (temp, humidity, food etc) and what would be the best habitat for them. I would like to include a water feature-maybe a waterfall-would that be beneficial for them? Thanks Kurt-really appreciate the advice.

You're welcome. I keep mine on sphagnum moss and feed them small insects such as fruit flies, small crickets, and been weevils. Don't know what the humidity should be, but I keep the sphagnum moist and they seem to do well. They are kept upstairs where is warm most of the year, upper 70's - 80 or 82F. The bifasciatus have a hide box but don't use it much, maybe because they have a bunch of artificial plants to hang out in. Which reminds me, they are excellent climbers. The microps just have a hide box for now, which they definitely use.
There isn't much written on the husbandry of this species, but one of these days I will get my #### together and write some thing on it. I need to do more research and I want to try breeding them, that way I will have actyually have something to write about.

Thanks Kurt! The more information I'm finding about them, the more I think I would like to have them. It's going to take a bit to set up the viviarium, and hopefully I can get them here in Canada. Fingers crossed!

Good luck.
