    As for names, I just picked up a kids book by Guy Billout The Frog Who Wanted to See the Sea (has some of the best illustrations I've seen in a while) and the frog's name is Alice. Yeah, I know that's not really a male frog name. My Cope's grey tree frog was Frog for about two months until I finally landed on Hannibal so give it some time.
    I have my grays and my toadlets named...but the peepers are just "the babies" lol

    If you're doing a 10 gallon enclosure, you should only have one frog in there. Max size for these frogs is about 2.5 inches, with males being smaller. I have a male gray tree frog that is actually only 1 1/4 inches and doesnt appear to be growing anymore. Males CAN live together if you were to put them in a 20 gallon instead of a 10.

    The pond should be shallow enough that he wont drown (no deeper than his head) Definitely concentrate on the arboreal aspect of the tank though, that's the most important part for a tree frog.

    And you're welcome, we're all happy to help!

    I really want to have two frogs. since i cant really interact with him. He seems lonely so ill look for a bigger tank then.

    Is Drift wood safe? any idea where i can buy rive stones?

    How much should he be eating?

    Do plants need special light?

    Thanks

    Drift wood is fine, that is what most people use. If he is still a juvenile tree frog still, he will need to be fed appropriately sized crickets every night, make sure they are dusted with calcium powder a few times a week. If he is an adult, 2-3 appropriately sized crickets every other night will be fine. The crickets shouldnt be bigger than the space between his eyes. I don't use a special light for my plants, make sure you get plants that can thrive in low light and it wont be a problem.
