New pics of Orchid!

Thank you for your imput! I watched videos of both foggers and people said they did like the exo terra one. That is what I was going to get, it can work in as little as 2 inches of water. I don't have any space to put a fogger beside the tank as well. But good thing it's not a big deal to not have one. I guess I'll go with the large tank and a bunch of new plants.
I actually would like to try some real plants (however they died with our tarantulas) but I am not sure what kinds are best to get. Most likely won't try them until summer though when I can find them around to buy.

Honestly, foggers can be practical if you are going on vacations, but so not necessary. For plants, some good old philodendron. Hardy as hell, and will thrive in your enclosure.

Enjoy the shopping, and looking forward to seeing what you got!

I would invest in the largest possible enclosure, fancy toys like foggers and pretty water dishes can be added later as funds allow. The frogs don't really care what their enclosure looks like but they will appreciate all the space you can give them.

Alright well I got the tank measurments wrong, it is 18x18x24, it's bigger than any of our Tarantula tanks lol!! She'll have a ton of room, plus when I get another it'll be able to join her and still have a lot of space.

I spent almost all my money today (I am a photographer and am currently taking a break, I don't make much sadly, good thing I don't pay the bills!) and I purchased the tank, 3 new fake plants, a brick of soil, a second water dish (which is a tree stump)....

AND I found wax worms! I forget if they can have them as a constant meal instead of crickets, or if they should have both.. I got 10 of them for now anyways, maybe she'll eat one a night (I notice she hasn't eaten 3 crickets per day, more like 1 or 2). Now for wax worms, is there a type of bowl they cannot get out of like the crickets or no? They do have the feeding bowls where worms can't crawl out, so I could invest in one of those if need be.

So my bf Chris and I are working on her new terrarium set up, then I'll introduce it to her tonight when she wakes up!

Wax worms should be fed as a treat food only, and to add weight to a thin-looking frog, so getting ten was perfect for your situation. I would offer her the wax worm on tweezers, since they're slow moving if you don't wiggle them in front of your frog's face, they may not be attracted and try to eat it. My White's won't even budge if the thing isn't on tweezers, they usually turn their back to it if I just drop it in front of them and wait.

You should feed her one wax worm every one or two days until she seems to fatten up, once she's filled out though, wait a month or so before you feed her any more, just to be safe because these worms can cause cataracts if the frog is fed solely on them for a long period of time because of their fat content.

As for a bowl, wax worms won't climb plastic or glass, so a similar one to a cricket bowl would work fine. But remember, wax worms are slow moving and she may not be attracted to it if it's not wiggling around, so tong feeding would be your best bet.

Cheri has Red Eyes, you should ask her if she feeds them worms and how she does it, to see if she can give you some insight into the feeding process of a RETF. My Whites' will eat anything small that moves fast enough to catch their eye, I know RETF are different in that way and usually stop themselves if they feel too full, which a White's will never do, they'll eat until they explode! XD

As for the tank size, and 18x18x24 is 33 gallons, I have one for my big Whites' right now and am going to be adding three more once they are big enough to not be on the menu. You could definitely fit one more Red Eye, maybe two if your frogs seem content after that. But if you buy a new frog, make sure you quarantine it for thirty days to prevent the spread of illness (I said more about this in your other thread about the RETF in the store).

Hope this has helped you.

Thanks for all the info! I'll definetly keep crickets as her main menu item then. I give them lettuce and grape tomatoes to gut load them. I still need to get some calcium to crush up, I have vitamin D but havn't rolled any in it yet. I kind of failed using the grinder and it went all over the place lol! I might dip the worm in it instead of the cricket, would be easier.

I have tongs so I can try to feed one to her tonight on it when she's awake. If she doesn't eat it, I might put it in a bowl anyways for the night to see if she finds it.

So they're like horses, eat til they're sick lol.

I'm happy I got the largest tank, I think it'll work out the best for when I get her a friend =)

I love that you use the word "when" instead of "if" when you talk about getting another frog. That's a sign that the addiction is catching...>>

You can also buy the commercial gut load for the crickets, one jar/bottle of Fluker's Cricket Quencher isn't that expensive (at least in the states) for how long it'll last you, which is about four months. I haven't switched mine out yet and I got it back in February and I keep six frogs and more than a hundred crickets at a time. But fruits and veggies are good to supplement too, I throw in whatever stuff I have around the house at the time once their gel starts to get low, apples, potatoes, pears, grapes, lettuce (romaine and red leaf), celery, oranges or tangerines, anything I find really. I read to stay away from spinach and bananas for crickets though, not sure why but I feel like it's safe to go without them.

As for the larger tank, Orchid will have a blast, my WTF Bruce Campbell FREAKED OUT when I moved him from the ten gallon long to the 33 gallon tall. XD He didn't come out of hiding to explore for a week he was so overwhelmed. XD But he loves the space now, and climbs all over the place. I imagine for a thin bodied frog like a RETF it would be even more overwhelming, in a good way. More space is always better. ^ ^

White's are really one-of-a-kind frogs, if you one day decide you want to keep another species, I definitely recommend White's. They're a joy! Though they're not as colorful as Red Eyes or some other frogs out there, they make great companions. ^ ^ Just my little shpeal.

Just hold the worm in front of her face for a few minutes and if she doesn't seem interested throw it in a bowl and see what happens. Good plan. XD Update us on if she eats it or not, I do respect the model thin waistline on her but she needs to fatten up!
