      If by assistance you mean if they would actually co-operate, then yes! The entire project revolves around the frogs, so their performance is crucial to its completion. Obviously, a key factor is maintaining the health and well-being of the frogs. I achieve this by keeping their tanks clean, ensuring they always have a supply of water to bathe in, feeding them regularly (the crickets are dusted with a calcium-rich vitamin powder, to give the frogs extra nutrients), maintaining a suitable environment (monitoring the temperature and humidity within the tanks), and providing them with places to hide under and climb on.
