Treefrog Suggestions

[bshmerlie]

Anybody who knows me knows that I always want to get the biggest tank possible for all my frogs....but bigger is not always better. I had a Banana reed frog in a ten gallon and he did great. After six months I moved him to a 18x18x24 Exo. He didn't do well in that tank. He had trouble finding food, got skinny so I moved him back. Then he did well again. So there are exceptions to every rule.

True, there are always exceptions. I'd be lying if I said that I never kept a frog in a 10g. I actually kept a reed frog in one, but to me, it was too small.

I do agree, tho, that in smaller enclosure, it is easier to feed and monitor the frog. All of my new additions and frogs that I breed are kept like this. I can be better
Except, of course, if the frog is stressed by the lack of space.

Anyway, just goes to show that there is not hard and fast way to do this and that each frog is an individual that may need some special treatment.
