Diet & Nutrition

Chubby Frogs should be fed 2-3 times a week. Dust food with calcium powder every feeding, & a multivitamin once a week.
Housing & Habitat
Enclosure Size
Chubby Frogs can be kept in a 10-gallon tank for the entirety of their lives. A larger habitat would be recommended for multiple specimens.
Substrate
Due to humidity requirements an absorbent substrate is desired. Peat moss, coconut fiber, reptile bark or sphagnum moss are suitable.
Temperature & Lighting
Temperature
Chubby Frogs need an ambient temperature of 75º to 80º F.
Lighting
Lighting is not required for Chubby Frogs. For live planted terrariums or aesthetics light may be used. Low strength UVB can be used to promote plant growth and act as an anti-microbial. There is no current proof that this animal requires UVB light, although some keepers prefer to provide UVB.
Plant and Fish bulbs are not UVB bulbs.
Humidity & Watering
Humidity
Chubby Frog humidity should remain high (70%) due to their native tropical climates. This can be maintained using a fogger, hand mister, or misting system.
Watering
A large water bowl with clean water should be provided. Always use de-chlorinated or bottled spring water.
