Diet & Nutrition
Vietnamese Bird Poop Frogs are carnivores. They can be fed crickets, small mealworms, small wax worms, fruit flies, and small roaches.
Bird Poop Frogs should be fed 2-3 times a week. Dust food with calcium powder every feeding, & a multivitamin once a week.
Housing & Habitat
Vietnamese Bird Poop Frogs are found in Southeast Asia in forests and wetlands where they mimic the bark of trees.
Enclosure Size
A 10-gallon tank is suitable for 2-4 Vietnamese Bird Poop Frogs. An 18" x 18" x 18" or 20-gallon high tank is ideal. Provide lots of foliage and branches for the frogs to climb and hide. Make sure that multiple hiding spots exist in the tank to reduce stress on the frogs.
Substrate
Due to humidity requirements an absorbent substrate is desired. Peat moss, coconut fiber, reptile bark or sphagnum moss are suitable.
Temperature & Lighting
Temperature
Vietnamese Bird Poop Frogs can tolerate an ambient temperature between 50º to 78º F. Temperatures between 68º to 75º F are ideal. Temperatures over 80º F are dangerous.
Lighting
Lighting is not required for Bird Poop 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
Vietnamese Bird Poop Frog humidity should remain high (70 - 100%) due to their native climate. This can be maintained using a fogger, hand mister, or misting system.
Watering
If the terrarium is set up semi-aquatic the water portion will suffice for water if it is kept clean. Otherwise a large water bowl with clean water should be provided. Always use de-chlorinated or bottled spring water.
