My Red Eyed Tree Frog

[kimmy]

Hi

This is my little guy Yoshi He is 15 months old and I got him as a birthday present last October ... About 3 weeks ago myself and my boyfriend got 4 more of these little guys We both got a boy and a girl each ... I will have some pictures of the new frogs in a few days but for now here's my baby Yoshi <3

i was told that the red eyed frogs can be hard to keep... is it true?

They are definitely not the easiest frog in the world to keep, but that being said, they are not the hardest either. I have three of them and they are doing great right now. At first, not so great. I would suggest getting a fecal check done if your having problems because just by doing that, you can accomplish a lot. I had gotten all my frogs perfect, healthy, eating, looking good, and the LAST thing i did was get a fecal check...when it should of been the first.


jessie if your looking to get some red eyes, just do your research. If you keep your temperature between 75-80 during the day and 70-75 at night then you should be fine. I accomplish that without using any heat source (lights, heat mats, heat tape, etc.). My room is perfect for them.

Hi Jessie

A lot of people will tell you they are but in my experience I've had very few problems ... At the start I was very concerned about him getting sick because they are susceptible to a variety of diseases .... but good husbandry and careful attention should mean that you can avoid a sick frog

If you are thinking about getting a red eye all I will say to you is to do your research As long as you know what you're doing with these guys then you should have no problem at all

i agree with Kimmy. i found they are very easy to keep. as long as they eat u dust give them a good clean tank and water they do great.
And lovely red eye Kimmy. Got quite the adorable expression. so cute.

Hello Jessie, the frogs in this thread are Agalychnis callidryas, not Litoria chloris. You are in Australia, so you cant legally keep Agalychris!

I have Litoria Chloris, Australian Red Eyed Tree frogs, and they are pretty easy to keep. Infact, they have to be the hardiest animal I have ever kept. I am aware of some people who have had issues with them, but mine do well.
