Hey, i just got myself a white's after getting bored of my fish tank. i was wondering if i had the right stuff to take care of this frog as best as i possibly can. i have some driftwood and plastic plants in a 10 gallon tank with a screen lid. th substrate, which i assume is the stuff on the bottom, is that green felty stuff with terrarium moss on half of the aquarium. i also have a water dish which i change every other day and i feed the frog about 10 crickets every 3 days. am i doing okay? how often and how do i clean the aquarium. ive cleaned it a few times by removing everything and placing the frog in a seperate tank and just running really hot water over everything. any help or tips would be helpful!

Paul,

Sounds like you are doing every thing okay.
How big is the whites? Once it reaches adult size a 20 gallon high tank would be minimum size for one frog. If your whites is still a baby you really can't feed too much, when it becomes an adult or if it already is then you want to cut back on feeding. I feed my three adults 2-4 dusted crickets each every two to three times a week. Also try switching your substrate to bed a beast, it hold moisture and helps keep the humidity where you need it, about 50-70%. If you have any more questions let me know

I planned on getting a much larger tank when he became an adult and thanks for the help.
