Is there another name for a bell frog? I am trying to find info on their care, as 2 small frogs were given to me and the person called them bell frogs. Thats all I know...and they eat pinhead crickets.

You'd have to explain more here. Most frogs eat crickets firstly. Answer this and explain a few things. Does it climb on glass? What color is it? Whats the size ( presumably they are small eating pinheads ) ? etc. etc.

Thanks.

I set up a new tank and they seem a lot happier. It is a small terrarium (plastic) with about an inch of water on the bottom. I put gravel sloped to one side where there is a big rock to climb out on. There is a pump creating a waterfall for him too. Before he was just in a dish with about a few centemeters of water and a plastic ramp to climb out on. They do stick to the glass.
I also put a fire belly newt in with them. I think their sizes are matched okay, so one does not eat the other.
If anyone knows this arrangement is wrong, please let me know so I can fix it!!

Take out the Fire Belly Newt. Please dont mix species.

Definately take out the newt. They secrete a toxin that can be harmful to other animals and frogs are easily affected by these things. It is a good thing that you posted this here as that is how you get to learn things like this.

Hope the animals do well.
