Nutrition
Diet
A well-balanced tree frog diet consists of:
- A variety of insects, including gut-loaded (recently fed) crickets and mealworms.
Feeding
Things to remember when feeding your tree frog:
- Fresh, clean, chlorine-free water should be available at all times.
- Feed juveniles daily, adults every other day.
- Sprinkle food with calcium supplement daily and a multivitamin supplement once or twice a week.
Habitat
Housing
-
Size - appropriate size and shape habitat to accommodate normal behavior and exercise; glass habitat with a tight-fitting screen lid.
-
Habitat - should be heavily planted, with large driftwood or other types of branches and artificial, non-edible plants; option to cover the back wall with a dark green material, or use large suction cups to attach slabs of cork bark to the back wall. Maintain 70-90% humidity by misting as needed every day.
-
Substrate - use a mulch-type such as coconut fiber, dampened sphagnum moss or bark; avoid gravel and artificial turf (too harsh for skin).
-
Temperature – should be 68°F at night; depending on species, 75-80°F or 85-88°F during the day.
-
Lighting – fluorescent lighting for 10-12 hours a day is required. An incandescent day bulb can be used for basking area during daylight hours if not using a ceramic heater; low level UVB lighting is recommended, but provide hiding places to hide from light as needed.
- Can house same species Frogs together but do not house different amphibian species together

Grooming & Hygiene
