Gray Treefrog / Hyla versicolor and H chrysoscelis caresheet

[Ra]

Well, I've seen Pac-Man frogs chocke on other Pac Man frogs in breeding facilities, I've even seen them choke on mice. But they were smaller baby frogs.
I wasn't aware that Gray Tree Frogs could grow so large, at least not so large as to be able to choke down a pinkie. I think perhaps the care sheet should have a warning about pinkies and mammalian fat.
I've kept Green Tree Frogs before, but just recently found a cute little Gray Tree Frog....Is a large female Green Tree Frog capable of eating a pinkie?
The care sheet looks pretty good.

It does in the feeding section.

Greens always seem "delicate" to me, whereas Grays are generally stocky little things in comparison. However I suppose it's possible a female Green could eat a pinkie.

The care sheet looks pretty good.

Thank you very much.

Fabulous caresheet. Thank you. I know that you mention that, with a bathing dish, they can sustain low humidity, but is there a recommended humidity range? (Would this be one of the areas where the two species differ? I imagine ambient humidity would be different in the SE from the NE.)

I'm just asking for future reference. I haven't kept this species in a while, but I'd love to again when I can free up some space.

This care sheet has been indispensable to me since I got started in the frog keeping hobby just a few weeks back.

I utilized historical weather reports to determine what the humidity and temperature ranges for my H. chrysoscelis are. These two species have such a wide range, there is quite a bit of variation by locale.

I actually don't know what the humidity numbers should be. Grays are pretty robust and it's always pretty humid where I live, so I honestly don't keep track of the humidity other than to provide a dish of water and a mist every day.

Good to know. Sounds easy enough.

Humidity can change greatly from one day to the next here. So I don't think humidity is all that critical with these two species.

Great caresheet but do find the feeding methods questionable,having to keep taking them out and putting them in another container with the prey seems it might be a bit stressful rather than the opposite for the frogs and hard work for the keeper at feeding times and ive never come across one unwilling to eat.I've always found they get used to you very quickly with your everyday visits to their enclosure. Feeding with tweezers surely takes their natural instinct of the hunt away and again a lot of work if you keep several or many frogs.
In my experience i'm hard pressed to find a living cricket within a few hours and never had a problem with crickets doing the frogs any harm. Watching them hunt is all part of what we get out of keeping them ,doing what they do naturally. I dont think they need our help that much.

No nor do i and never had a problem they are in warm room and with spraying and a bowl of water there's no need to keep checking.
