Answer 1

I don't no much about frogs but you can find info on http://www.allaboutfrogs.org/info/specie...

Answer 2

What kind of tank do you have?

you will want to make sure it has a secure top, treefrogs like to hang out near the top of the tank.

They need high humidity. Use a substrate that retains moisture. Bed a beast, or a forest floor substrate will be great.

They need a pool for bathing and also to keep humidity up.

Use real plants if possible.

They will need to be misted at least 2 times a day.If this is not possible for you to do, buy and automatic mister machine.

They eat crickets daily. Make sure you "gutload" your crickets and cover them with calcium powder.

I have my tree frogs in a naturalistic terrarium. I used sand and rocks in the bottom for a drainage system, then 6 inches of soil, i planted different types of ferns and other plants.

Answer 3

my advice DONT GET THEM YET

these aren't toys the require special care and set-ups (which u should have for a week before getting them to find and sort any temps or humidity issues)

OK here's spend_day's generic tree frog caresheet (its actually one i wrote for green tree frogs) the temps will vary for different species

Need a tall tank so more hight than floor space 1.5feet (minimum) is ok 2 foot is much much better a 45x45x60 cm tall tank (a normal long aquarium just wont do) can house 4-5 frogs MAX (for 3 you'll need at leat 45x45x45), They require a well-planted woodland type set-up with a substrate of bark chips, topsoil or moss. Furnishings such as logs, cork bark and sturdy leafed plants (real or fake) can be arranged to provide a number of climbing, perching and hiding places. A small water bowl (no deeper than the frog's height at rest) must be provided with clean de-chlorinated or spring water. The water will need to be changed daily to avoid the build up of ammonia and bacteria in the water whilst changing the water it is a good idea to visually inspect the tank and remove, clean and replace any soiled items. The tank if it needs heating can be done with an under-tank heat-mat controlled by a thermostat. It is not advisable to use spot / heat lamps with amphibians and so a separate light source should be provided (low heat/watage) a fluorescent UVB (1-3%) tube can be used but isn't necessary. Once every month the tank and its contents should be completely cleaned and sterilized using an amphibian / reptile friendly disinfectant.

Feeding: For adults a mixture of suitably sized insects including crickets, mini-mealworm, flies, waxworm, small locust, caterpillars and moths should be fed every two-three days. A calcium and vitamin supplement should be used once a week. Young frogs will take hatchling crickets and fruitflies, these should be fed every day and a calcium and vitamin supplement used two-three times a week.

One last think NEVER mix species of amphibians or reptiles NEVER

and dont handle or "pet" any amphibians (frogs newts salamanders toads except when u absolutely have to the chemicals and salts produced by your skin and anything u put on your skin can harm your pet, (if u really really (and i only mean when u really have to) touch u pet wash your hand carefully before hand this will limit the damage and make it safe(ish) handle for ONLY FOR A FEW SECONDS) (also have wet hands during touching)

my advice dont get one till your ready do a few weeks research get all the kit u need then and only then get your frog
