Diet & Nutrition
Green Tree Frogs are carnivores. They can be fed crickets, mealworms, wax worms, small earth worms, fruit flies, and small roaches.
Green Tree Frogs should be fed 2-3 times a week. Dust food with calcium powder every feeding, & a multivitamin once a week.
Housing & Habitat
Green Tree Frogs are found throughout Central America and the South
Eastern United States. Green 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.
Enclosure Size
Green Tree Frogs can be kept in a 10-gallon tank for the entirety of their lives. A larger habitat would be recommended for multiple 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
Green Tree Frogs require an ambient temperature of 70º to 82º F.
Lighting
Lighting is not required for Green 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 Green 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.
