    Default Is tv stressing my frogs?

    I moved my 2 tree frogs (a white's and a cuban) into my bedroom, because my bedroom is warmer and they are easier to monitor. (i am a nervous new frog owner). I am worried if the tv will stress them out. they are pretty close to it and it is on alot in the evening. Any suggestions, please?

    pretty simple , cover them up while also making sure that the ventilation at the top of there tank remains uncovered, and obviously dont allow what ever ur using to cover up the tank (towel , cloth, duvette etc.) that it does NOT come into contact with ur heat source, this works on my frogs and calms them down a whole load, also if they still get stressed by it then try a fogger, but buy the one for a human, then adapt the outlet to suit a frog tank, the more powerfull steam calms my frogs down alot when there abit on edge

    Maybe????
    My frogs are more active and eat more at night when they are in a completely dark and quiet room.
    However, that's not to say your frogs won't adapt?
    Maybe place a blanket around their enclosures in order to muffle sound and difuse light?

    I agree. Try a blanket. My frogs like it pitch black. I will admit, I do keep my tv on for a while before I go to bed though :P

    Another quick question (sorry). My two aquariums are side by side. Should I cover the glass between them, or do you think they would like watching each other? (One is a Cuban and the other a White's)

    My whites are in the same room that my boyfriend plays video games. Usually he has the sound down and the radio on or a movie on the computer. They don't seem to mind because it's not very loud. Shrek, my older frog seems to love watching when he plays a basket ball game. He is GLUED to the side of the tank. Anything else he doesn't really care. LOL!

    I would cover up between the two tanks, it might stress them out especially if they see food in the other tank.
