Gray Tree Frog Terrarium

[Kurt]

Hi, welcome aboard. The 12" cube would be a little tight for more than one gray treefrog, the 29 would be much better and you could keep a few of them in there. Live plants would be good and with them you never really have to change the substrate.

Congrats on becoming a frogger. I love grey tree frogs. Two frogs in smaller tank is fine. I put in a layer of rocks, layer of coco fiber, layer of bark chips and then place smooth river rocks and a piece of wood, plus some plants. I buy tropical plants at a local nursery and wash them off, potting soil and all. Native frogs are a little more tolerant of their environment. I pour declor water up to level of rocks, let it set for a couple of hours and then refll it. Handle them as little as possible. Tiny froglets need to be picked up in a tiny plastic container when moved. Or on the twig they are clinging too. They leave their setup alone except for spraying to keep the humidity about 75%.

Thanks for the helpful replies! Last night I decided to put the frog back outside where we found him I still would love to keep Gray Tree Frogs sometime in the future, but I felt too bad for him sitting in the temporary tupperware container until I got a real tank set up for him. And he didn't seem happy, so I just let him back outside. Maybe I will find another one sometime, but I think I want to set up the tank before getting a frog.

I hope you are able to get set up soon!
