Hello everyone! New red-eyed tree frog owner - a couple questions!

[flybyferns]

Hi Lynn sorry one more clarification - what is "change the PT 3 times a week"? PT? Probably something really obvious that I'm not catching...

Hi Eliz,

Yes , change paper towel substrate at least three times a week.

If QT is for a frog that is ill. It should be daily.

I'm sorry if my original response to you seen scattered ? I was in a bit of a hurry. It was a fast as I could type

For clarification...I agree with Dreadfrog 100%.
They are very sensitive to light. I personally use NO nighttime light.
I think, in fact, there may be no other supply I have wasted more $$ on.
It is noticeable ,to me, that there is a reduction in nighttime activity .........regardless of the 'color' light used.
Someone will disagree with that.......but that's ok FF is all about sharing experience I suppose it's a personal choice.

May I suggest you add Repashy ( used alternately ) to the dusting routine.
Repashy Super Foods Calcium Plus Supplement at PETCO

Note: above a combined Ca and Vit supplement. For adults it would not have to be used daily.

I alternate these three products ( on small crickets ) for adult red eye tree ( A callidryas) frogs and adult black eye tree forgs ( A moreletii ):
No dusting on Wed and Saturday

( make sure they are sealed well under the lid )
