    Default what would be a good housing set up for Cuban tree frogs and similar tree frog?

    I'm sorry if I come across a little dippy or ignorant. I have some wild caught frogs ( I caught them as tadpoles) and I am not sure what they are. They are all about the same size. I think some are Cubans and some look very close to type of Florida wood frog. I'm having problems identifing them. Anyways I want to give them a better home then the 10gallon tank they are currently in. Nine frogs in a 10 gal is a bit crowded. So I got them a taller tank and I noticed some like to hide next to the water bowl and swim. I would like to add a pond or "riverlet" to the new tank, I'm just not sure how to go about doing it. Any suggestion?

    You will need separate vivariums for each species. Cubans will eat just about any other frog you're going to get.

    I would look at this thread - http://www.frogforum.net/vivarium-te...ion-101-a.html to get some ideas.

    Also, if you could share pictures of the frogs you have, we can help you ID them so that you can read up on the care sheets and provide for them according to their distinct needs

    Both of your frogs look to be Cuban tree frogs. Provide a minimum of a 20-30 gallon tank for a small
    group of these frogs. Two should be fine in a 20 gallon tank for the time being. Their care should be
    similar to whites tree frogs.

    You have 9 of these cubans??? Would be 10 gallons MINIMUM per frog, and you couldn't even keep one in the 10 gallon. You may need to rehome a few of them. Illegal to release them in Florida. They are tree frogs though, so their viv needs to be like a tree. Branches, leaves, etc.
