    I'll link him the care sheet, he'll want to review it.

    I'll advise the smallest crickets possible, then, as I do not know of places selling poison dart frogs close to me. However, I will scan the area.

    We've a small dish that could be filled with water up to about 1/2 inch high, so we'll add a small layer of de-chlorinated water in there.

    Ah, well, a heat lamp or UV bulb is still a good idea in my opinion.

    Hm. I'll take note of that. If anything occurs, I can take in one of these frogs for my friend, I'd be glad to

    I have warned my friend of this, and I will now demand that eventually, a 30G will be mandatory. We'll be using quite a tight lid with tiny holes only a fruitfly could get through, so I doubt that will be a problem.

    Bullfrogs have a kind of chameleon ability too... Gnag turned brown when she went from the tank with tons of moss to the mainly aquatic tank with gravel... which of course, you have seen

    Thanks for the advice, I will not take it lightly. Learning from an expert is much better than reading online.

    I've yet to see any evidence to support the need of a UV bulb for a treefrog. They don't tend to spend any time in direct sunlight in the wild.

    Whether you need a heat lamp or not depends on your room temperature. I switch to an incandescent bulb for my daytime light in the winter as I keep my house on the cold side of things.

    I agree with Brian. I don't use any uv lighting for my tree frogs. Just dust their food with a quality supplement and you're good to go.

    Alright, but I'll still consider it.

    Canada is known for being cold, or at least relatively so, so I'll consider it.
