Nice when is it arriving?

Hopefully it will be here at the end of the week. Jade has resulted to leaping into the screen lid trying to rip it again. She has marks on her face I gotta get her out of there.. she's miserable.

I hope she is happy in her new cage when you get it set up. What are you going to do with their current cage? Do you have any new animals planned?

It may be ued for new additions at some point. I have this one (20 gal. tank or I can convert it to 2 10 gal. tanks) another 10 and a 5.

I'm thinking about a tiger legged monkey frog.

ooh you have a more extras then i do i cant have an empty extra for more then a week. Then they just miraculously end up with critters.

I'm sure that's her problem.... size. Their current tank is filled with lots of climbing/hiding areas though and Dumper throughly enjoys exploring every nook and cranny. She only likes the nooks (the ones blocked off with screen).

Timmy didn't stop trying to escape till hehad 27 gallons of space. The pet stores usually reacomend a 10 gallong aquarium for them but its reallt not enough. They need lots of room to be happy.

Put saran wrap on the screen so it doens't abrade her face in the mean time. You don't want her getting an infected cut.

to expand on the question of temparature and lighting, would a 60 watt incandescent plant bulb be to bright for the frog, or should a red bulb be used instead?

My girlfreind fixed the screen so she can't get to it... now she leaps at it, but ends up at the bottom of the tank having to start all over again.

Their new home arrives tomorrow! Will it stress her/him to have to move again? This will be her fifth encloser move in a month and a half!

Hi Chris, I'm sorry to hear that jade is having trouble settling into her home with Dumper.I was thinking that it might make things a bit easier when she moves into her new home to arrange every thing as it was in her previous home but obviously spreed out a bit more. It might help a wee bit. Good luck Chris, hope all goes well.

*random topic change* Okay making sure one last time, I can spray the dirt in the cage with distilled even if the frog is in there? (I wouldn't want to suck vital nutrients out of it's skin or anything...)

Yeah, that will be fine. Just don't fill your water bowls with it.

@chris: I've experienced sth. similar... my dolly isn't much of an eater (it's like that since I've got her, she's also a very shy and timid little one) and for about two weeks she didn't eat anything. so I thought I try putting her in an extra tank and leaving her there for a couple of hours at night with a few locusts so the others won't eat them all up before she feels secure and in an eating mode.

since we've had an empty 10 gallon tank (our old aquarium) I've made her a small setup (plant, hiding place, some wood for her to climb on and a bowl) and put her in. but after about half an hour I had to take her out because she was running around like crazy, trying to escape and finally she started jumping against the lid on the top... she was so freaked out I almost didn't manage to catch her(!). when I put her back into her usual tank she was calm again.

so it really might be your tank's size. my other two frogs don't mind if I put them in there, so it seems to depend on the frog's character what size they're okay with - that's probably because your dumper doesn't act like that. I keep fingers crossed she'll be happy in her new enclosure.

Depends on the size of the enclosure. In a ten-gallon tank, a 60 watt incandescent bulb will cook whatever lives in it.

I'm housing my White's Tree Frog in a 25 gallon tall terrarium (for now) and as the warm season closes up I need to get a good heat source going for the tank. I need something that will bring the temparature about 5 to 8 degrees higher,

Is it okay to keep 2 white's in one 20gallon? *mentally preparing myself for if I decide to get a second one*

Just be real careful and monitor it vigilantly.

Its probably ok in a twenty high or extra high, A twenty long, not so much.

I recently put 2 in a 20 gallon and it didn't go well. I had to upgrade. Of course now they are in a tank that's almost twice the size and they both want out... maybe it's because it's their first night and everything seems new to them or maybe it's the thunder storm. But I would say 30 is better for 2.
