It is easier for them to get to the crickets before they hide if they are in a small glass bowl of some sort, but I just drop the crickets in and let them hunt. I do watch them to make sure they all get a few though. Crickets are great at drowning themselves, so you would definitely want to put them somewhere away from the water.

Ok Thank you very much guys. I just finished adding the Great stuff to the tank so its now a waiting game. lol

Have you guys used Irish moss? It is safe? Is it Easy to take care of?

[Kisa]

I just wanna say congrats to Eli for asking all these wonderful questions. Too often members will get frogs without making sure all their bases are covered, I'm so glad you've chosen to not be afraid to make your frogs life the best it can be.

Thanks Kisa. I am just trying to be well prepared for this responsibility. I still have no answer for these questions. if anyone can help its greatly appreciated.

What signs of illness should i look out for?

Is Irish Moss safe? Is it recommended? Is i easy to keep in a vivarium?

Should i put the food dish on the ground or put it on a ledge that i will put on the side glass of the tank?

UPDATE ON TANK

I added the GS yesterday and i still need to add more to make some ledges on the side of the tank. Im thinking like 3 or 4.

Comments and suggestions are welcomed. (be gentle its my first time doing this.)





This picture i circled in red where i will put some ledges so he can feel "king of the rock" in a high point and i put in blue where i am planning on putting the pond. are these enough ledges?


Thanks

Eli

I do have another question for tree frog enclosure do i need to worry about adding springtials?

what substrate Mix should i use. I have eco earth right now is that fine?

[LilyPad]

Eco earth would be just fine. I would recommend adding the springtails because they'll clean up all the stuff you dont want in there...dead crickets, poo, decomposing plants, stuff of that sort. With an elaborate vivarium, cleaning is a huge pain, so that would be a big help!

Your viv is looking wonderful, I can't wait to see more pictures!

[blood4eva69]

Ok so eco earth is fine for the plants. What about plant food?

Any one in Los Angeles, CA are know here i can get spring tails?

Any know if Irish moss is good for vivariums?
