i just got a heating pad for my little who and it says on the package not to put it any where that water is so i have it on the side of my aquarium. well is that enough? i just want him to be comfy and happy and not cold. any info would help. i got him at a show so i didnt really get detailed info. thanx so much

Can you post a pic of your setup?

I find it best to keep them on coconut fiber (Ecoearth, jungle bedding, bed-a-beast etc), with the heatpad on the side of the tank. These frogs burrow to escape heat, so you don't want it on the bottom.

thats awsome because thats what i have him in. well actually bed a beast mixed with peat moss. i also have his heat pad on the side so it wouldnt crack the glass. i alos go him one of those swirly lights thats only 25 w. to keep him covered in the daytime. now i'm trying to figure out how many cricketts to feed him. and i cant tell if he's using the bathroom regularly because i cant find any poo in his house. he dosnt ever sit in his water dish unless i put him in there. i guess he dosnt like the water?

Mine never sits in his water bowl. I feed him one item at a time, and don't leave any left over.

You really don't need the compact flouresant bulb, in fact he might not feel comfortable with it.
