Housing
Golden Bell Frogs require a tall arboreal terrarium, a shallow water dish that covers half the frog, bed-a-beast substrate with moss covering it, a few branches (with no sharp edges), a plastic plant and/or other form of hiding place. Never use cedar or pine shavings (toxic), gravel (abrasive), bark or sand (abrasive and ingestible) as a substrate! The frog's color fades and shines depending on the tank temp and mood of the frog. If the tank is too cold they turn very dark, and if agitated the color washes out. A secure lid is necessary to keep the frog from escaping. Never use any chemicals when cleaning the terrarium! Just use HOT water and a paper towel. The substrate should be changed every week if not sooner.
Temperatures
Use an incandescent heat light (dark for night and light for day). They like to climb up to their heat lamps to "bake", however they will jump down to their water bowl to cool off when they get too hot. Hot rocks/sticks/caves should not be used due to the fact that they can cause thermal burns in frogs and other animals.
Diet
Their diet should consist of crickets and occasional mealworms. Instead of catching wild insects to feed to your frog you should buy them from a pet store or mail order company due to the fact that wild-caught insects can carry diseases and pesticides! Remember to remove all dead or uneaten insects/food items daily. Fireflies, ladybugs, and lubber grasshoppers are toxic to frogs and therefore should be avoided at all costs when feeding your frog insects.
Health
If your frog is cut or burned by something in its cage, remove the object and call a vet before applying any kind of medication due to the fact that some can be lethal to your frog.
Fungal infections are very common in tadpoles and younger frogs. They look like inflamed areas of the skin surrounded by whitish threads. In its early stages, it can be treated by immersing the frog/tadpole in a 2% solution of malachite green or Mercurochrome for five minutes, repeated again after 24 hours. A veterinarian should be called if the infection does not clear up.
Red leg is a common disease in frogs caused by bad husbandry. It causes small ulcers, hemorrhages, and reddening of the skin around the belly and underside of the thighs. The infected frog should be kept warm (85 F) and immersed in a 2% solution of copper sulfate or potassium permanganate.
You should always at least consult a veterinarian if you think there is something wrong with your frog!
