    Default Help please?

    I live in MN and I found a frog, that climbs up what ever s/he can to get to the top.

    I didn't think frogs like that lived in MN, I've only seen toads.


    So I decided to bring it home and investigate, I have a 10 gallon aquarium right now. I'm planning to get a bigger one, preferably taller since the frog likes to climb up the walls.

    I have moss, dirt and water in the aquarium right now.

    The frog in green on top, white-ish-gray on bottom, and than yellow under legs with black spots. What do you think it could be?

    And how should I re-make the aquarium?

    Then you will want to read this care sheet.
    Frog Forum - Gray Tree Frog Care

    When you set up the enclosure keep height in mind since they need to climb and are rarely on the bottom. Provide lots of branches, larger leaf plants, and daily water changes with dechlorinated water. Also pay attention to humidity and temp too.
    When providing crickets, ensure they are no bigger than the width of the frogs head.

    Could be either an Eastern or Cope's grey tree frog, the only way to tell for sure is by the call if it is male or by chromosome counts. Luckily the care is the same for either, the distinction is only important for breeding purposes.

    Yay another Grey Tree Frog Owner

    They are great and one of the easier to care for from what I have read

    I have 2... a full grown Eastern Grey Tree Frog male and a lil baby one. Frodo our adult frog lives in a 18x18x24 exo terra tall terrarium and as soon as Sam is grown he/she will join him.

    Good luck and keep us posted!

    oo If its a male and starts calling you can google Eastern Greys, and Copes Greys calls and be able to tell which yours is XD

    OK, maybe not useless, but we'd like to see some!
