    Default Chorus frog

    I am going to be getting some western Chorus frog this spring and I was wondering if Chorus frogs like to climb up a little bit?

    I think they're tree frogs? So if so yes, they would like to climb.

    According to a quick search, they're not as good at it as other tree frogs but they still do it so something to climb might be good.

    Okay, I have a really big tree stump that will make constancy with the ground at multiple points. The tank will also have a clay background with ledges and tons of room to move, it's a 10 gallon but I'm saying it will be a 15 gallon with all the spaces they can move around with, clay background will cover 3 sides and the tank will be vertical. Another Q, could I get away with feeding fruit flies dusted and then springtails along with moths?

    springtails are pretty small, I don't know how big chorus frogs are but if they're the right size, go for it. You might need to dust the feeders though.

    As far as mixing,"chorus frog" is a name for a lot of different species, including spring peepers. I wouldn't mix them if they're different though, just to be on the safe side. Different species have different levels of toxins in their skin and over time sometimes one can harm another.

    Okay, so I might move my 2 baby anoles to me 15 vertical, now the 26 is open. The species I'm getting is either the Western or Boreal Chorus frog. Do you think 5-8 can live in a 26 bowfront?

    No, that would be way overstocked. They might live okay for a while but then would die off rapidly. I would put 3-4 in there at the most. Chorus frogs tend to be more terrestrial but they are also good climbers. I would recommend a lot of leaf litter and some twigs because they like to hide and hunt in it. Springtails will only be good feeder when they're froglets and not as a primary feeder. They will take bigger fruit flies (Like D. hyd) and small crickets when they're fully grown. Moths are low in nutrition and can carry parasites, so I wouldn't bother feeding them. I would also seed the tank with isopods every month or so because they will help with cleanup and are something a chorus frog would naturally hunt for.

    It's not about how much space they take up, it's about how much space they use. They will get stressed if there are too many and will not thrive. Dart frogs are tiny too, but I wouldn't put more than 3 of those in a 26 gallon either.

    Okay, I didn't know if it was territory. Thanks for that, so 3? I am thinking a pond area with lots of grasses, wood, leaves and a fake background that has some ferns
