After reading some posts in the Pacman frog area, I am worried I have one of my tomato frogs in too big of a terrarium. He is in a 10-gallon aquarium, with about 3 inches of coco-earth, a couple of fake plants, and a soaking bowl. I got him just a couple of weeks ago -- he's big, about 2" long, but I don't know how old or if he still has some growing to do. I think he was at the pet store at least a couple of weeks and in an enclosure maybe 10" x 10".

The first couple of nights I had him, I saw him at night coming out and hopping around the aquarium some. I have been putting about 2 - 4+ crickets in his terrarium every evening, and many times I have seen one or more crickets still alive the next evening. Until last evening, I hadn't seen him out of his hole for several days, although I think he's moved around a few times. I have a mister in his terrarium, it goes off about every 3 hours for about 8 - 10 seconds. The substrate is damp but not soaked. His soaking bowl is clean and appears not to have been used.

Is this too big for him to find his food? I have critter keepers, XL and even XXL I could use instead. Currently he's being kept at room temperature but I will be adding a heat mat to one side of his terrarium to help keep it warmer, plus put some clear plastic on part of the screen lid to help hold in humidity.

My little guy is in a medium critter keeper (around 6" x 9") and he seems to hop all over it at night (I only got him on Saturday). Still, could it be too big if I feed him in his container? (see my other post for info/pics -- he's around the size of a penny). I took him out and fed him last night in another container about the same size, but he wasn't happy about being caught.

I just want these guys to be happy and healthy. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
