    Default Natural Vivarium

    Okay so a few weeks ago I upgraded my White's Tree Frog's terrarium, because the other one was a little bit too small for my tubby babies, and here is a photo of it

    the water needs changing sssh i know

    but the left side of the vivarium as you look at it still annoys me because it's just one piece of glass with nothing on it that I know I could be utilising somehow to give my White's some more places to climb and hide and whatnot.

    But I have no idea what to put there. I've thought of another vine, but that's not going to give them the cover that I really want for them.

    So do any of you have any suggestions as to what I can put there instead, because I feel like the whole mass of glass is going to stress them out because there's nothing really covering it.

    Magnaturals ledges and hides with some hanging plants would add a lot more hiding and climbing places.

    Why do I think this tank is tiny.... Or may be because it looks overcrowded...
    what are the size of that thing?

    Whites are a tree frogs, so they need to live in forest looking tank, yours is too open with no climbing options. Sides are easy to fix by just covering it up from outside, even plant black paper will do or you can use cling fish tank background.
    and add something to use vertical space, branch or two, hanging something, magniturals as Lisa suggested.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Methinks a 24x18x24. I would go with magnaturals. They can take the weight of the frog well, and you can get some for hanging plants. I agree with Lija on the vertical space. A horizontal branch or two up high would greatly improve the tank for the frog.

    it's 60x60x45, and it looks small because I took the picture close up.
    and thanks for the suggestions

    Interesting how you made one of the sides become the new front; guess it's good idea to get rid of door glass break as long as can easily reach from access side. Yes, enclosure needs a couple of branches that reach the top and will support adult frogs; lots of ideas in the member's builds. Once you are happy with location; then can add a climbing type vine plant to fill it up. You can also cover that side with same material in the back. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
