[froglover27]

Thanks for all of the help and advice everyonr!!!! So, basically pothos, bromeliads, snake plants, etc Would it be better to have a larger tank?? Thanks soooooo much everybody

i think it would be better to use a bigger tank. The bigger the better, with any type of animal

I agree with Cam your tank should be bigger for 2.

A Rule I have been told numerous times on here is 1 frog per 10 Gallons.

Frogs like space and room to move and hide and not necassarily prefer company so space to be by themsellves when they need it is important to reduce stress levels.

I would get a 20 gallon for a pair ... 10 gallon only should have one frog...

Hope that helped.

Yes a ten gallon can work but a 20 would be better. Just use "smooth" broad faced leaves. They like to suck down to the leaf as they are sleeping. So the leaf should be bigger than they are.

The tank should look like a tropical rainforest. They walk from leaf to leaf so they should be able to reach them. They wont jump so don't leave empty air space. It wont be used. I ten gallon tank densly planted is better than a sparce 20 gallon with empty air space. Viper has a good picture of a Red Eye Leaf frog habitat. Maybe he'll post it for you. It is always better to start off with adult captive bred frogs.

Something made with coco fiber would be the best substrate for tree frogs. Avoid using too much moss if you wanted to mix that in, sometimes they can swallow it and become impacted.

Eco Earth, Jungle Bed, Coco Fiber, etc are all good substrates to try.

At Cheri's request, here is a picture of my Red-Eyed Leaf Frog-tank. Please note that this picture is 2 month old. The plants have all grown alot since, especially the 2 pothos. There are also two live bambuu-sticks that are not in the picture.
As substrate, I use a mix of coco husk and spaghnum moss, with a draniage layer of gravel on the buttom. LECA (or hydraton) works equally well, and weighs alot less (but then again, more expensive).

You're very welcome. Always ready to help a fellow frogger in need.

Sorry this is in a weird spot, I'm still getting used to the new forum.
