I had no idea, but my cousin happens to have a frog vivarium, which I got to see today. She had a 30 gal aquarium, cover, a cricket cage with water and food for them, and some moss for me. I'm currently bleaching the tank. The crickets are all set up in their box and eating and drinking. She has fire belly toads and a Dumpy tree frog. The tree frog is so cute!
Currently, I've been reading the vivarium forum here and watching youtube videos. It's sort of hard to find info on a set up that's more pond-like and less rainforest-like. I'm absoultely in love with paludariums and know I could make a hobby out of that, but I wonder how it will work out with a pond frog?
I'm a little confused about false bottoms and whatnot. I'd like a pond area along the front, and I'd like to keep the substrate out of the water. I'm learning about that as I go. We shall see!
Thank you so much for all the help here. I'm still amazed everyday that our frog is still with us and improving! Yesterday he started calling, which was really awesome to hear. Between him and the crickets, it sounds like there's a pond in my kitchen![]()
Wooooowww, the guy is calling? Wow! He must be really doing great, thanks to you!
as palidariums, just ask in viv sectionthat is so interesting and rewarding to DYI naturalistic tank! Possibilities are endless.
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
Wound update in pic...This was right after he dove down for a cricket. His wounds aren't as red as they were and seem to be closing. They look better to me, but I am not familiar with amphibian skin healing. It does look as though he may lose the end of the one toe. It looks discolored to me.

It looks almost healed, but yes the finger doesn't look good. The most important part he is obviuosly happy![]()

Looks a Lot better, that's great!As long as you rinse the tank very well it should be fine but I would use vinegar instead of bleach to clean next time, Just to be on the safe side.
