Enrichment for an ACF
Hi!
So, in January a got a white african clawed frog for my mom, who loves frogs.
We named it Micaela (tho I suspect it's a male, but right now we have no way of knowing), and I finally convinced my (minimalistic) mom that having things on her aquarium is not a bad thing: She may not have so much space to swim on a straight line, but she has places to hide, and when we give her brine shrimp they have places to hide too so she has to search.
And I was curious...Is there something more I could do for her to make her happy? Further enrichment, basically.
Lately, she started to croak, and we took it as a sign that she's happy, healthy and considers her surroundings safe and fit to reproduce, and while we don't want to breed frogs, we very much want to make her happy.
(She's on a 15 liters/3.9 gallons tank, that she shares with an apple snail, Plutarco. We feed her turtle food pellets, mealworms and once every two weeks or so a whole bag of brine shrimp for her to hunt and feast)
