Green Treefrog

Other Species or Phases this Care Sheet May Cover:

Gray Treefrogs

Sexing and Characteristics:

Males will have dark throats in the breeding season. The males may also chirp.

Mostly Active During:

Night

Substrate and Water Needs:

The best substrate to use is gravel as a drainage at the bottom, reptibark in the middle, and moss for the top. They need a water bowl big enough for climbing into. Do not make it deeper than an inch since they may drown in deep water.

Lighting and UVB:

They do not need any specific lighting unless you live in a very cold place. If you use lighting you will have to mist it more often.

Temperatures and Humidity:

They could do fine at room temperature (70-77 degrees Fahrenheit.) unless you live somewhere cold. Mist it 2-3 times a day with declorinated water.

Heating and Equipment:

If you live somewhere cold you could place a heat pad under one end of the tank to warm it up. You will need a spray bottle, declorinated water, water dish and proper care

Caging Provided:

I have kept 2-3 adults in a 10 gallon with no problems

Diet:

Carnivorous

Description of Diet:

They will eat small crickets, moths, worms, flies, mealworms(feed sparingly) and waxworms. I usually feed mine flies, moths, and crickets.

Supplements, Nutrition and Usage:

Their food should be dusted with a vitamin/calcium substance twice a week

Maintenance:

Clean the poo out when you see it. The cage should be changed every 1-2 months. Change their water every other day unless it is already soiled.

Some Words on this Species:

They make a great frog pet for beginners
