  1. 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 is ok 2  foot is much much better a 45x45x60 cm tall tank can house 4-5 frogs MAX, 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 by the means of a fluorescent UVB (1-3%) tube. 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)

    as for what they do jump about eat things climb about
