Her name was Lola

This isn't the Copacabana but we're hoping Lola will still like it.

First step was to take out the old soil and foliage and give the cage a bit of a wipe down.

Lola just stayed in the corner keeping an eye on us. Not as green as she was before but these frogs do change colour, so maybe it is an environment/getting cold thing?

First step wast to lay down some pumice stones.

Then in with the soil, plants and moss. We've made the back quite a bit higher than before, especially the right corner. The top corner and mossy areas are designed to stay damp while the soil leading down to the 'pond' is the dry area.



Then in with the branch we brought back from Nikko. Have put the short end close to the front so hopefully it will be a good spot to see lola from outside, and for her to hunt for food too.

And a little finishing touch.
Was heaps of fun putting it together, but wonder how close our perception of a natural environment is! Hopefully she'll like it.
