When/where to find gray tree frogs?

[Terrarium]

How do wild gray tree frogs tend to do in captivity?

This is a very old thread, but I'll put in my two cents anyway.

I caught a few about two months ago. One refused to eat for about a month. The other two did great from the start. The one that wasn't eating was force fed for almost a month. Now he eats faster than the others. I know I shouldn't take them from the wild, but they were all calling at the creek at the back of my property. This creek is home to two very sneaky venomous 3 1/2' snakes. They seem to hide every time I go out prepared to deal with them. Grrr. Anyway, I have a feeling that if these frogs had actually made it down to the water to mate, they'd have been dinner. So, I don't feel *so* bad. But the bit of guilt I feel for doing this has been assuaged by a recent purchase of tadpoles. I'll raise those, and hopefully breed sometime in the next few years.

Sorry, most of this was more to clear my own conscience than to answer your question. Soooo, mine have done ok, but if you can get some from a captive source (or at least take young morphs or tadpoles that would likely die anyway), you probably won't feel as guilty about it in the future.
