rainforest terrarium with reed frogs

[Pakk]

hi everybody,

i have a small (70x40x60 centimetrs) rainforest terrarium where i kept r. imitator for several years. The last one died last week. Now i fell in love with reed frogs and i was wondering if i could use the current setup also for reed frogs? ground is normal soil, with a small water bowl (maybe this should be changed) lots of plants (bromeliads, vines and other tropical plants), lots of hiding spots and climbing opportunities with roots and bambus. There are many chances for the frogs to get to higher parts. I'm not sure about the plant setup. want the frogs to feel fine with that and i am grateful for help.

i would guess it would depend on the species of reed frog. if the care requirements are similar, the tank most likely would work. for the most part, frogs are indifferent when to comes to plants. with the exception of darts, since they like to lay their eggs in broms.

yea probably right that frogs do not care about the plant species. but what about the rough background and side walls it's a composite of latex and peat... too rough for their skin? The tanks I saw on the net have at most a background. Do the frogs love glass walls?

i would think that even reed frogs would prefer something closer to their natural environment than plain glass walls. remember, even in nature, they encounter sharp sticks and rough stone. if they don't like it, they will just avoid it..

I would sanitize the viv before I add more frogs to it. Anything that can be removed and cleaned should be.
