Hello. I captured a female Green tree frog ( Hyla Cinerea ) for about 6 months, and decided to keep her. Her terrarium is taller than it is wide, and is maybe a 5 gallon tank if memory serves correct. Before buying it, I asked a worker at my local pet shop, whom I've known for many years, if this cage is acceptable, and he said that the frog would never outgrow it.

About a week ago, I captured a male Hyla Cinerea ( He chirps enough for me to know he's male ). I've just introduced him to the cage after quarantining him. Both seem to get along just fine, and I've watched for any ill effects from them. Both are pretty active at night, and have a healthy appetite.

My question is, would I need a bigger cage for them? And if not, what more could I do for the cage to make it more homey for them? Also, how can I prevent them from mating? And if I can't, where could I take the eggs to should it happen?


Here is a picture of the tank ( with the male in the water dish ):

And here's the two of them chilling in the corner of their cage:
