Temps with standart florsecents are about 2F higher than the ambient room temp. Its good that they don't produce a lot of heat because a lot of people use glass tops and they would crack if florescents produced a lot of heat.

Those are my frogs :) They are quite friendly towards eachother.

Thanks

I just fed him, he doesn't really chase the flies, do they usually? When they're next to him he eats them fast. But there was a few out of his reach and he just watched. So I just kept pouring flies infront of him.

Also, I didn't dust these with calcium. I'm not really sure how, I have the calcium but how do I dust them?

Also, It's "reptile" calcium, the guy at Lllreptile said it would work, is this true?

Some frogs chase flies, some don't. It depends on the frog and how hungery it is. As long as he is eating thats fine.

To dust the flies I usually just use a 16 oz. fruit fly cup with a pinch of powder in it and then tap the flies in. If you don't have a container you can use a bag, but there will probably be more escapes with a bag. Then just "shake and bake."

Do you know what the calcium supplement is called? Rep-cal is one of the better ones for reptiles which also works for amphibs. You will also need a vitiman supplement as well, and Herptivite works well for that. And remember to change out your supplements after 6 months, because after that 6 months they are no good.
