Diet & Nutrition
Golden Tree Frogs are insectivores. They can be fed crickets, mealworms, wax worms, small earth worms, fruit flies, and small roaches.
Golden Tree Frogs should be fed 2-3 times a week. Dust food with calcium powder every feeding, & a multivitamin once a week.
Housing & Habitat
Golden Tree Frogs are native to tropical Asia ranging from India to the
Philippines. Golden Tree Frogs can easily be housed together with similar sized tank mates. Make sure that multiple hiding spots such as cork bark tubes along with live or artificial plants are added to reduce stress on the frogs.
Enclosure Size
For Golden Tree Frogs, an enclosure measuring 18" x 18" x 24" would be ideal for 2-4 specimens.
Substrate
Due to humidity requirements an absorbent substrate is desired. Peat moss, coconut fiber, reptile bark or sphagnum moss are suitable.
Temperature & Lighting
Temperature
Golden Tree Frogs require an ambient temperature of 75º to 80º F.
Temperatures over 85º F can be fatal.
Lighting
Lighting is not required for Golden 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
The humidity of Golden Tree Frogs should be maintained between 60- 70%. This can be maintained using a fogger, hand mister, or misting system.
Watering
A large water bowl with clean water should always be provided.
Always use de-chlorinated tap water or bottled spring water.
