Re: Wtf Humidity

And a bigger water dish. They like to be able to soak. So you want something deep enough for them to sit in and have it cover most of them but they can still keep their head out of the water. They also like to be able to stretch out in the water so you want something large enough that they can stretch their legs out and kinda float.

Re: Wtf Humidity

You can also take Damp Rags and lay them over the screen to keep the humidity up.

oh and I love the names. You just need a few more frogs though...

Re: Wtf Humidity

i just noticed you said you have only had them a couple of days. They need to be left alone for a few weeks so they can get used to their new home. Only handle them if necessary, like if you do bucket feeding. Keep your hands in their "area" as little as possibe. Their new home will stress them out. give them time to settle in, only going into their space to change the water and clean. You will find they have bigger appetites.

Re: Wtf Humidity

I just thought I'd drop in here for a sec. All good suggestions on the humidity so far, but I read that you've only had them a few days. Going back to reference your thread on trying to get them to call...that will have some impact on it. Let them be for a while, and after the habitat's finished and you've let them get used to it for a month then you can try again and they might call for you.

They're probably not going to call in that habitat though. As mentioned, it's too dry, the water dish is too small, and there's not enough decor. Once it's more natural and better resembling something they could potentially breed in, and once they've gotten used to it over a period of time, THEN they might be more inclined to call
