Treefrog Facts: Natural History as it Relates to Pet Care

[findiviglio]

Hey Frank. Its great that we have experts like you on the forum. I was wondering, are gliding/flying frogs kept in captivity much like tree frogs, or do they need vertical as well as horizontal space to glide around on? Also, are there any diurnal tree frogs?

Hi kareem,

Thanks for the kind words and sorry for the delay.

They only glide when threatened, so do not need space for that, but always use the largest enclosure possible. They can be kept as are typical treefrogs. Here's an article on the Asian Flying Frog.

Most are nocturnal; some, such as red-eyed treefrogs, rarely move by day. Others, such as the North American Gray Treefrog and White's treefrogs, will feed by day once they adjust to captivity. But none typically move about by day as we see with American bull and Green frogs.

Please let me know if you need anything, best, frank
