Mossy Tree Frog care/Info................

[Emma318]

This is an interesting caresheet - thanks for posting! I hope the author won't be mad, maybe you can just edit it and give them credit somewhere? Or link to the page where you found it?

Anyway, this is interesting to me because I just got some mossies (see my other post for pics) and I have found some varying info in my research. For example, this caresheet says the tank should be 1/3 to 1/2 water, and my tank currently is only about 2-3 inches of water... Some people I've talked to only keep a big water dish in with them, so I'm curious as to which they prefer. I haven't put mine in the big tank yet, because I'm trying something that no one has mentioned before. Guppies. I have 3 females and a male, and am just starting to get some tiny, baby-frog-sized snacks in the tank! I'm going to wait until there is plenty of baby guppies, and then introduce my little guys. I'm just really afraid they'll croak, but not in the good way. Does anyone have any opinions about using the guppies as feeders? I'll still throw crickets in, of course, but thought they might enjoy the constant supply of sushi.

Also, I had never read about them curling up in a defensive ball when stressed. Like a mossy ball, huh? I don't want to stress them out to see it, but I think that's neat!
Here's a few more pics of my little guys, just for fun. Any comments/advice appreciated!
Cool action shot! Look at those sexy legs!

Mmm, cricket!

See the blue mouth?

Ready for more!

I'm not sure if they would eat guppies, it would certainly be interesting to see. Some frogs are aquatic feeders and will take food under water, other, will not.
