Concerns about Waxy Monkey Tree Frog...

[Rae]

I cant help but notice you seem not to have any subtrate? how long have you had this set up... Im always concerned about mine eating the subrate and this looks so much cleaner... But I have little greys dont know if it makes a difference?

Kitten - so happy to hear! hope it is all that needed. may be one day you can get another one to keep him company

as for vines - they need smooth surface ones, I'm using exo terra, but any smooth ones are good.

Rae- they don't need a substrate, whatever is easy to clean is good. Waxies are not typical frogs.

I want to make sure I get him healthy first and have the temps and everything right before I decide to get him a buddy. I didn't know they were communal type frogs. I will see about getting more vines for him to climb on. I knew Exo-Terra had many sizes available. And as for substrate, I don't have any in his enclosure because it is all screen and I didn't want to worry about making a mess if the substrate happened to be able to go through the screen. The slick bottom makes it a breeze for clean up!

Awws so I cant get away with no subtrate for my greys?:/

Rae - greys are different, they are typical tree frogs, they need substrate and humidity, you may want to check care sheets.

for waxys i actually was thinking to do something more natural looking then just felt looking cover that I have for the bottom, but couldn't come up with anything. coconut fiber will be powder in low humidity thus respiratory problems and death because of that may occur. anything else - impaction risk unless tong fed. but I just love to see them hunt, besides they poop and pee a lot, so it is just easier to use whatever works.

kitten have you seen bbc videos on youtube:

and this one - typical feeding time :lol: although the set up is not the best one, and looks like humidity is too high
