New Red Eyed Owner in Need of Advice!

You do not need to lower the humidity to 60%, if it's about 75. Tony just said that 60% is fine, but is not bad for the frogs in anyway if you have about 75%. Like others said before me, make sure you have alot of plants, vines and branches, both for climbling and hiding. Red eyes will almost never be on the ground, which means if you don't have lot of climbing space, you restritc their effecient terrariun size greatly, and thereby adding more stress.
With that said: The problem is definely NOT that there are to many objects.

If you want some tips on good RETF-terrariums, check out the "What does your tank look like"-topic, as well as Cheris photo album.

Best of luck with your new frogs!

As Martin said, 75% humidity is not necessarily bad. I always advise people to throw away their hygrometers, they are usually inaccurate to start with and will cause you (and the frogs) more stress than it is worth messing around trying to hit a number on the dial. I have kept red eyes at humidity levels ranging from 30% to nearly 100% depending on the season, setup of the particular viv, and conditions in the frog room. The key is good ventilation, except for very limited periods during breeding you should never cover the screen section of the top. As long as they have a water dish available to soak in at night they will be just fine, they are exposed to very dry conditions at some times in nature and have evolved to conserve water much better than we think they do.

I have noticed that my frog feels a little bloated and she feels a little airy in the stomach. What could be wrong? Also my friend breeds roaches for her bearded dragon so she gave me some nymphs for my tree frog. I'm going to see if she eats those tonight. How often should they eat?
