Gray Treefrog / Hyla versicolor and H chrysoscelis caresheet

[Kurt]

Excellent.

The care sheet says large females can eat pink mice? Is that really a good idea? Seems like it couold be a choking or digestive hazard somehow.

I've never heard of a frog choking. Anybody? My female Gray Treefrog is more than capable of eating a pinkie - not that I would ever give one to her due to the mammalian fat.

Come to think of it I have never seen a frog choke on anything. Tonight I fed pinkies to my White's treefrogs. No problems there. I used to have a gray treefrog that was as large as my smallest White's, but I never gave it any mice.

Well, I've seen Pac-Man frogs chocke on other Pac Man frogs in breeding facilities, I've even seen them choke on mice. But they were smaller baby frogs.
I wasn't aware that Gray Tree Frogs could grow so large, at least not so large as to be able to choke down a pinkie. I think perhaps the care sheet should have a warning about pinkies and mammalian fat.
I've kept Green Tree Frogs before, but just recently found a cute little Gray Tree Frog....Is a large female Green Tree Frog capable of eating a pinkie?
The care sheet looks pretty good.

It does in the feeding section.

Greens always seem "delicate" to me, whereas Grays are generally stocky little things in comparison. However I suppose it's possible a female Green could eat a pinkie.

The care sheet looks pretty good.

Thank you very much.

Fabulous caresheet. Thank you. I know that you mention that, with a bathing dish, they can sustain low humidity, but is there a recommended humidity range? (Would this be one of the areas where the two species differ? I imagine ambient humidity would be different in the SE from the NE.)

I'm just asking for future reference. I haven't kept this species in a while, but I'd love to again when I can free up some space.
