Diet & Nutrition
Cuban Tree Frogs are carnivores. They can be fed crickets, mealworms, wax worms, small earth worms, fruit flies, and small roaches.
Adult Cuban Tree Frogs should be fed 2-3 times a week. Baby and juvenile Cuban
Tree Frogs should be fed daily. Dust food with calcium powder every feeding, & a multivitamin once a week.
Housing & Habitat
Cuban Tree Frogs are found throughout tropical climates in Cuba and the South Eastern United States. Cuban Tree Frogs can easily be housed together with similar sized tank mates. Make sure that multiple hiding spots exist in the tank to reduce stress on the frog. Cuban Tree Frogs are quite toxic to other reptiles and amphibians. Be sure to clean your hands thoroughly before handling other reptiles and amphibians.
Enclosure Size
Cuban Tree Frogs require a minimum of a 10-gallon tank. Cuban Tree Frogs are extremely active at night and would be best kept in a 20-gallon high tank or larger.
Substrate
Due to humidity requirements an absorbent substrate is desired. Peat moss, coconut fiber, reptile bark or sphagnum moss are suitable.
Temperature & Lighting
Temperature
Cuban Tree Frogs need an ambient temperature of 78º to 85º F.
Lighting
Lighting is not required for Cuban Tree Frogs. For live planted terrariums or aesthetics light may be used. Low strength UVB can be used to promote plant growth and act as an anti-microbial. There is no current proof that this animal requires UVB light, although some keepers prefer to provide UVB.
Plant and Fish bulbs are not UVB bulbs.
Humidity & Watering
Humidity
Cuban Tree Frog humidity should remain high (60-90%) due to their native tropical climates. This can be maintained using a fogger, hand mister, or misting system.
Watering
A large water bowl with clean water should always be provided.
Cuban Tree Frogs often soak in it at night. Always use de-chlorinated tap water or bottled spring water.
