Perhaps you typed "Good bye Frogforum" when you decided to let frogs be entirely. But if you typed it just because the frog died, and you are waiting a while before getting your next frog, you should perhaps rethink. Lurk around here, learn how to set everything up, how to feed, how to recognize diseases etc. Just because you don't currently have a frog, doesn't mean you shouldn't be here, learning

I'm sure you have read about the frogs already, but there is always more to learn about everything, no matter how much you already know.

We all learn from our mistakes and that's what life is all about. Frogs are more delicate than many other pets but once you understand and can meet their care requirements they are rather easy. Its just getting over the hump. Like everyone said plan and prepare and you wont have those problems. But don't give up.

I'll provide you a link to my Red Eye's home and maybe you can get some ideas for doing your next frogs home.
Pretty basic with some hydroball drainage, a screen then coco-fiber and plantation soil on top of that.
The a few plants (mine love the snake plants and sleep there all day) put right into the soil and then some pieces of cork rounds cut up to put some other plants in. It has a two lamp top with two compact florescent light bulbs from Home Depot that are 5500K color temp.
It grows like crazy, is pretty self sustaining except water changes, and a routine spot cleaning of visable droppings.

Once planted, (rinse all plants well) very soon after you can add the frogs.

Funny thing, I just revived 1/8 sized crickets today... With no frog to feed... If I keep them will they grow quickly?
