Red Eyed Tree Frog - Habitat Questions

[kiwibaby]

I'm trying for the 1st time using the cricket bowl and it works slick. Although, the 1st frog in had to do his duty in there and I had to clean it and refill it with crickets afterwards. :-)

Once again I would like to commend you on your beautiful viv crafting skills. Its giving me inspiration for when I redo my frog's viv once I have some more money. Would you mind taking a picture of your cricket bowl? I keep hearing talk about using cricket bowls but I can't imagine a bowl where the crickets wouldn't just jump right out.

Balvennie, that is also a very beautiful tank! As far as what else to put in there, I always hear not to keep different species of frogs in the same housing to avoid cross-contamination. Red eyes in particular seem to be sensitive and somewhat prone to illness. Maybe one of the more knowledgeable members may know of some safe species they can mix with though?

No problem, its feeding time soon here so here are some pics.

Also included is a picture of some moss I'm hoping someone can ID. Wondering if its safe for a frog full habitat. It grows outside my home here in New Hampshire. Its very soft and seems to spread well. I have some in a jar to see how well it takes right now.

Thanks for the pics! It seems like the crickets I use would still be able to jump out of there but maybe I'm overestimating their abilities. I think I'll try a feed bowl and see how that works out.
Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with that moss at all. Sorry.

I'm not sure that is even a moss, looks more like a vascular plant to me. Does it have roots? In any case mosses and other plants from temperature climates usually do not do well in a vivarium, without a cold period of dormancy they eventually just die off.

The crickets can't get traction unless you use a bowl that is not smooth inside. I'm just hoping the wife doesn't see I'm using her good stoneware :-)

I asked what moss but I meant what fern this is... oops
