Ive discovered some Ants in one of my smaller (18x18 Cube) Whites Tree Frog Enclosure. Im not calling it a stampede but during my normal morning cleaning and misting I noticed some little black ants running around.
I figure its insects, they eat insects right?
I keep all my enclosures very clean with water changes 2X daily.
Is this a potential problem?

Hum, I've read here ants can bite the frogs. Would check if ants are looking around (trails to/and from enclosure) or if ant queen is making nest in it. If second, need to find nest and eliminate before it gets out of hand. Good luck !
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !
Ants are a HUGE problem. I've had them kill a couple of mantellas. I would suggest drowning the substrate and relocating your enclosure to a different spot in the house.
1. Remove frog(s). 2. Put plastic over entire top of lid (not air tight but pretty-well sealed). 3. Purchase some dry ice. 4. Put dry ice in viv over night. 5. Enjoy bug free viv. 6. Prevent subsequent infestation. This has worked for me for a variety of bugs.
