From what I can gather, it is a good practice to quarantine any new frogs, even if they are your first, for the purpose of not infecting the viv.
I see that the norm seems to be using the 190 oz "deli" containers. And I don't have a finger on the time span, but it sounds like a month or better? I remember reading - fecal tests, then a certain period, and do the tests again. I don't remember if it repeats again or if that is only with a positive result.
How common is it for a CB to have a parasitic load (assuming they came from a reputable breeder)?
Anyway, I am wondering if it is against veteran wisdom to build & establish the viv. (plants, microfauna) while having the frogs in the quarantine process?
I don't want it to sound like I'm trying to find a fast way to get frogs, and rush it. The reason I'm wondering is because if I come across that perfect little one(s) will it be ok? (I don't expect to, but the unexpected happens sometimes.)
