thanks, thats what I've read. I will try to give him slightly smaller roaches. I'm going to supplement some worm's in too. Wal-mart fishing night crawlers ok to feed?

Temps during the day 80-85, with a slight drop at night time, but not necessary (I keep the temps the same for mine). Actually with your baby you might want to watch how much he eats and decide whether or not that is too much for him because babies tend to just eat and eat till they bloat up. Where is your heat pad placed on your enclosure? If it is placed on the bottom and your frog is burrowing down to it he can dry up and die down there. If you're going to use a heat pad place it on the side of your cage.
Thanks for the advice. I'm still working on the temperature. I do have the heating pad on the bottom, but the programmer is working perfect. I have a additional temperature probe pushed down to the bottom of his enclosure to monitor temperatures, and when first regulating the temp. I had my wife hold up his enclosure just after the heating pad shut off, and I used a infrared temperature gun to check for hot spots, and there where none. So far so good.

with this in mind, do you think its still bad for the pad to be on bottom? I'm just afraid with the pad on the side his enclosure will not get up to the proper temp.
