Hi. I'm new. Help.

Hi Rockey2. I commend you for being so responsible - most people would not give such things a second thought and it's refreshing to hear that you do. Yes, releasing them by the lake would be fine. I've seen American Green Treefrogs (Hyla cinerea) even breed in large water bodies so the lake side should not be an alien experience to them. I would suggest letting them go in the evening around dusk - not as hot and not as many predators around (birds are a big one for froglets).

Best of luck.

Hi John,

Thank you for answering. Now I have to figure out how to get the baby frogs out of the 10 gallon tank. They are climbing up the side of the tank trying to get out. Two jumped out when I took the top off to feed them. I caught them and put them back. So far I haven't seen the babies eat. If I can catch them i'll try moving them tonight.

You have my sympathy - what you described is one of my nightmare tasks!

Tell me about, my little red-eyes can go from being these cute little things to major pains in the butt in just a matter of seconds. Whenever I have to clean their cage, which I have to do more often than I like to, they all take off in different directions. I am not used to more than three treefrogs in one enclosure.

Any way, welcome aboard to Rockey.
