    Default Water bowl colour

    Hello do you think it matters what colour water bowl you use for these frogs? I remember reading that they fell more secure in a darker bowl because they blend in easier. thanks.

    I wrote that a long time ago on a forum and the users took me apart. However I still stand by it - they will feel more secure in surroundings in which they can better blend in. There have been scientific papers published on this behaviour.
