Ornate Horned Frog Setup

[Gibson]

For my horned frogs I just used Eco Earth and a medium sized water bowl (heating source as well of course). Backgrounds are good too. But I don't think having a hide and fake plants are necessary, I think they like having more room to burrow.

Hides ensure a sense of security for the frog, so in my opinion that is quite essential. Plants do add aesthetics and that can be entirely optional to the owner.

I've actually never heard of anyone using a hide and i've been in the hobby for a few years, i mean they just burrow anyway. but it defiantly won't hurt the frog. i guess its just up to the owner!

Providing a hide isn't actually uncommon for horned frogs. They will find shelter and hide, especially when they are young.
