Treefrogs NEED ventilation! Did the vet do a fecal test or treat for gastrointestinal parasites as a precaution?

he got a stool ssample but nothing else. how much ventilation should i put in viv can make complete top with very fine mesh if thats best !

If this helps, my tree frogs are in tanks with screen or mesh tops. They provide enough ventilation.

This is the type of tank that I use: http://www.amazon.com/Exo-Terra-Terr...ref=pd_sbs_k_1

It has a mesh screen top that works really well. Additionally, I know that you read the thread about my frog (that was the one about the suspected illness). I don't know if this helps, but with the suggestions I read in that thread I was able to determine to things: 1. Because of the large tank, and the type of substrate I am using, the crickets were able to burrow themselves out of reach of my frogs. I cleaned the tank out prior to switching over to feeding them outside the tank, and I found probably 20 crickets that burrowed themselves into the substrate! 2. It really helped to feed them outside of the enclosure because then I knew that the frog in question was eating.

Anyway, I hope he is okay!

Glad to hear that you made the switch to a mesh top. I hope you find that he/she eats well today once you get a good look out of the tank!
