the frogs require little maintenance, during the winter months when I'm forced to feed them store bought crickets I'll occasionally find a little "pellet" of wings and hind legs. During the warmer months when I can feed them moths and other insects I catch (in addition to earth worms) I find nothing for fecal matter.



I use ZooMeds Repti Bark as their substrate, about 3" deep and moistened to the point where I just start seeing standing water at the bottom of the 10 gallon aquarium I keep them in. I still change over the substrate about every 4 months because even if I can't see fecal matter there has to be something... food just can't be processed 100%.



The hyla with the cataracts I found on the down spout of my gutters one evening about 8 years ago... forgot to turn off the outside flood lights one evening and she was taking advantage of the insect life it was attracting. I was amazed to find her as neither my yard nor the surrounding area is prime habitat for them.
