    Default Re: WTF introduction/housing issue

    I agree with Ginger, I think the best situation would be for you to grab a small tank and try to keep the new frog as far away from the already established animal as possible to keep them from getting stressed out. I have known people that have placed their frogs in smaller tanks inside their larger tanks for separation purposes, but this has been used for sudden illness as a quick fix so the sick from doesn't contaminate the water or physical touch the other frogs.

    I have had my big WTF for three months and my baby for one month tomorrow, but he is still too small to introduce him to the main tank so I will have to keep him separated for another month or two. I have my baby in a ten gallon long with a water bowl, fake plant, and coconut hide on paper towel substrate (he's now 1 1/2 inches long). This is a cheap and easy way to keep your other frog separate for the quarantine period, ideally 30 days or longer. In addition to having my frogs in separate tanks, I have positioned them (although they have to be in the same room) so that neither of them can see each other inside their separate worlds.

    I really do recommend going with Ginger's suggestions, she's really great about saving money. Transitioning a new frog can be really tough for the first few days, as you should know, so having the brand new frog exposed to your existing WTF so fast could cause it undue stress as well. If you're getting a new frog, it's best to follow stricter quarantine procedures.
