After much reading and research I purchased 3 froglets this past Saturday from what was supposed to be a very reputable breeder. I got 2 different varieties of tinctorius and one auratus. They set them up in a small "critter keeper" with moss on the bottom and cork bark and 2 air plants. They told me to get a desk lamp with a 40 watt bulb to get them heat and light during the day. They told me to keep them in there for 6-8 weeks. On Monday morning one of the tinctorius had died sometime during the night. I have tried like hell to get in touch with these people and cannot get any of the support I was promised. My concern now is that even though the other two seem fine together should I separate them? My other concern is that this container has slots all around the top that the flies keep getting out of. I thought the frogs were eating them all but found the flies last night in my cricket container which was next to their container. How should I keep the flies in the container long enough for them to eat them?
I realize now after reading this site that I should have gotten all of one kind of frog. That was my gut instinct but was assured that they would be fine until I moved them to another setup. Please give me help before these two suffer. By the way these froglets are 2 months old.
