    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.)

    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!
