Handling your Tree Frog

[Wambli]

I do wash my hands between guys in different tanks... I am usaly changing the water... or cleaning the tank each day when I play with them... but I wanted to know if that is to much handling?

They should be alright.

I handle my frogs almost daily and have yet to see one die or become too stressed from handling. I believe they (tree frogs) are more calm with regular handling... even one of my American Green Tree Frogs is tame.

Hi ~ I also have 2 Gray tree frogs and they are handled at least several times a week, and so far we've had no issues. I let them climb the walls and hang out in a large potted floor plant...I think they look forward to it. It never seems that they are trying to escape ~ but I always keep a close eye on them. Have to watch out for the cat!

Same here with my White's Tree Frog. I let him climb around on me/stuff outside his cage for around 20 minutes per day. He looks so bored in his cage and I figure he'd enjoy the warmth of a human hand after having just eaten. (After having washed my hands in warm water of course)
