Things You'll Need
- Glass or plastic aquarium with ventilated cover
- Container for water
- Potting soil
- Small plants
- Small logs or pieces of bark
Instructions
Put the water container in the bottom of the aquarium. Frogs need a considerable amount of water to swim in, so your water container should ideally take up one-third of the aquarium. You can use a Tupperware container or specialized container that you can buy at a pet store.
Spread 4 inches of potting soil on the bottom of the aquarium. Avoid getting soil in the water container. Spray water on the soil to moisten it.
Make small holes to plant the small plants in. It is best to leave them in their containers when you plant them. This makes it easier to preserve them when you remove them to clean the aquarium and replace the soil.
Place small logs and pieces of bark around the aquarium for the frogs and salamanders to climb on. You can place one in the water container as well.
Place a ventilated cover on top of the aquarium to hold in humidity.
Place the aquarium out of direct sunlight in an area that maintains room temperature (65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit).
