Can you show us pics of them? How big is your tank you are setting up? I think a false bottom is a waste for wtf’s unless you plan on making it with more land than water. wtfs like to walk along the bottom of the tank. You will have to have a good filter if you are planing much water. Here is a pic of my 55 gal long.

Make sure the setup is correct. temps low 80’s day high 70’s night humidity 50% - 60% all the time make sure they hace clean water (treated to remove all the bad stuff, leaving it out doesn’t get rid off all the bad stuff) give them a place to hide, terra cotta pot plant pots are great they help hold humidity and the frog like them (they are non toxic too) They need things to climb on like strong branches (mopai is good) live or silk plant to give places to hide. If live pothos is good, just pull it out of the pot and rinse the roots and replant it in fertilizer free soil. Substrate paper towel is good, any of the cocofiber beding works (eco earth, bed a beast) The frogs need 12 hours day and 12 hours night. No special lighting is needed, just amke sure it is not over 50 watts (incandescent) or it can hurt their eyes. Dust their food once a week with a combination calcium/d3 powder. Twice if young frogs. Feed them every second day unless young do it every day. You need gauges to tell you humidity and temp. Hope this all helps. If all this is in place and you allow the frog to destress it should start eating. The others showed you good vivs. Keep us posted!!! sorry if you already knew all this!!! |

Mine is a sterile type tank... all washable with silk plants and mopani wood and rocks.... I use coconut shells for caves and reptile dishes for water... I have two lights...one is for day (a regular house bulb 60 watts) and I use a moonlight bulb (pet shops) for night or colored glass bulb thats red (hardware stores).... the hardware and normal bulbs are cheapest.... I also have a uth (under tank heater mat) but mine is a big tank... If you use any silk plants you must dye test them....put under hot and cold water extremes and put between paper towel to see if dye runs if it does you can’t use it... Usually green is ok and whites..dark reds and oranges I found the worst for color runs. Do this twice as sometimes there is just left over dye and the second time round its fine... Wood must be bark removed and soaked in hot hot (boiling) water and air dried or you can bake in oven for 20 to 30 min on 250f.. I use mopani wood sold for fish at pet shops. A little pricey but I love the colors and shape.. You need guages for temp and humidity... HOPPY |
