Looking for new frog/frogs

[Frogger27]

I just built a taller vivarium (not quite sure the dimensions) and i am looking for a frogs for it. They need to be smaller becuase the tank isnt that big (i will post a pic if i can). So what should i get, i dont really want dart frogs, i want a tree frog species. Any help welcome.

Most tree frog species are nocturnal so they won't be around much in the day.

Arrow frogs all the way!

maybe a gray tree frog? I hve 1 and they are great eaters and are real fighters

Definitely do a gray tree frog if you want a frog you can see. They're always sleeping out in the open during the day, mine never hide. However you might want to consider making the lights brighter, increasing ventilation if its really moisdt in there and adding large horizontal perches- it will improve their coloration and they seem to enjoy 'basking'.

Nice set up but what size is the tank? It kinda looks maybe in the 10gal range by the pic. I wouldn't put tree frogs in anything smaller than 20gals or you'll here them bashing off the sides at night. I think with that tanks probably more suited to thumbnail darts.

A gray is fine in a 10 gallon.

Red eye tree frogs are pretty but I don't know if that setup would work.

Toads are no exception to this rule, my toad went from a 75 gallon to an Exo Terra for 2 days and had serious issues of rubbing her nose against the glad and was very lazy even for a toad. They will move around I believe for up to a mile or more in search of food and etc. I have never heard of someone that defends small enclosures. The info with snakes does not have merit since we are talking about amphibians. Snakes need larger enclosures also. It's not that the frog is happy, it is more active, looks healthier, color is better, can display more natural behavior, and so on. The claims that you are bringing are seeming inconsiderate to the animals. You can have your opinion that's fine but we will have to disagree on how we care for our animals.

Did you even read my post? And that's exactly what I'm getting at. When I posted the link to the university rearing manual, btw I wasn't trying to endorse keeping frogs in that manner. Just trying to show that I'm not completely evil at least by comparison I guess, lol.
are you sure the toad wasn't just nose rubbing because it was stressed out from being moved or didn't feel secure in it's new surroundings?

Darts are territorial, that's all I'm gonna say. Ima just sit back for the rest of this

Solitary bees are territorial, and they may fly miles every day searching for flowers. That doesn't mean a bee wouldn't happily raise its grubs on pollen and honey you provide for it in a small sand filled jar.
