Questions about the size of enclosure.

[specialmias]

I figured I'd ask here instead of making a new thread about it. But how does this work? Given that these are basically animals from the wild why would a smaller container make a baby horned frog feel more secure? Is it emulating finding a hiding spot in the wild or something like that?

Its because most of these large enclosures are bare. If you have a 100 gallon tank and filled it with loads of plants, places to hide and made it like in the wild they would be happy. They would still feel secure. I don't think some people realise that these frogs once did come from South America which is a bit bigger than a cricket keeper.
