are you breeding them or keeping them in small plastic bowls as their home? Is that easier? I know most of them can stay very small. My god or most of yours gorgeous. I nmay get back into these guys. The snake may be out for now. I will decide at the reptile show.
ALmost all of my guys are breeding. The froglets are raised in the "plastic bowls" which are 190 oz containers. Some of the pic were taken in 8-16 oz containers to keep them semi still or when they just got delivered.
That very first frog is maybe 1/2 an inch long.
There is no way even with their small size they can be housed in a 5 gal. Definately not two of them. Some of them do get bigger than an inch. My patricias are about 2 inches.
MOst of my tanks are 10 gals - 40 gals. Even though they are small they use ever inch of the tanks. Forcing them to be in a small 5 gal will cause a very very stress frog and probably eventually death.
Surprisingly with the almost 100 frogs that I have I can feed/ suppliment, spray in less than 1/2 hour a day. They are very simple to take care of with the proper set ups.
Now feeding tads on the other hand takes a little more time
