Hi all, First of all i would like to say hi and my names Kerry, Most people just call me kez. I have recently taken on two green tree frogs, After a friend wasn't looking after them right. I am wanting a bit of advice about set up's. After spending hours n hours on google I'm so confused lol.

No advice is better then experience. What is the best set-up for these frogs? X thank you for reading and hope you can help XXX

When you say "green tree frogs" I can only assume you are referring to a Whites tree frog.
if so Here is a good care article

BTW Kez,

Welcome to FF Kerry and I'm very sorry one of the frogs died . Do please answer questions Heather posted, first thing to do is try to identify why frog died. You can use damp (dechlorinated water) unprinted paper towels for a substrate, or soft rags (wash in how water); coco mats, or a bare bottom if so desired. Good luck !

[KezzaRoo]

I so wish I wasn't writing this post. But sadly they both passed away :-(

Sorry about that. Please read the White's care article and see if anything was missing (i.e. using regular untreated tap or distilled water in their bath). Also, answering the posted questions might help ID what went wrong .
