M.nasuta help.

I'm sorry I have not been updating. So... he's doing fine. It's a he because it rained and he "croaked", which sounded more like a beep.
Firstly, I would follow carefully the advice stated above on this topic here, as they do help very effectively and appropriately. Mine is very active at night, and intolerant to your presence when you arrive; I have noticed such behavior upon my first time feeding it. Be prepared and try to avoid freaking the nasuta out by removing only part of the substrate at one time, during cleaning. They are indeed nervous wrecks without leaf litter. I have been removing all infected leaves in the process.
Be patient while feeding the nasuta, they are lunge ambush predators and want to wait for their prey to be in range before striking decisively. Stick to leaf litter, particulate matter and moss is not a good idea. Keep the bottom of the substrate moist, and the surface just slightly. Oh yes, do feed prey items that produce enough movement.
Lastly, I would like to add that this has been a simple experience for me due to the incredible lack of parasites and thereof. It is important that you ensure it does not get bacterial infections or parasites, and treat accordingly and quickly. Take my advice with a pinch of salt and good luck!

Will post pictures this weekend. Be warned, I have absolutely no talent nor equipment for good quality pictures.

I don't know how I missed this thread. I'm so sorry. But I'm glad your frog is doing well!

By the way, my water bowl ended up getting a leak, but since I kept the dish in the back, I did not notice until the soil was soaked. But I found out through this that the leaf frog has another, much cooler croak. He had never done it before, until the soil was so wet. I know naturally they live near riverbeds. And I would say to have a tank that is taller. The tank I had mine in was a foot tall, and when it stormed, he would jump straight up and hit the top of the tank.

I found that at least a 16 inch cage ceiling is necessary when keeping this species, otherwise they are prone to get abbrasions due to their jumping ability.
