A reader asks:
“How do I take care of my frog? what do i feed him? How do I make him a home? I’m part of a Animal rescue crew and none of my facility know how to take care of them or what to do! HELP Me save this animals life!”
Answer:
Ok, so let’s start –
Frogs need a humid place to live in, with humid substrate. Your best choice is moss. You should mist its cage (spray water in it using a water bottle) 2-3 times a day depending on how hot the weather is. A humidity of 70-80 % is perfect. Get a thermometer that has a humidity level on it so you’ll know what the cage temp and ambient humidity is at all times.
Also, since it is a tree frog, it needs height and things to climb on. Best choice would be branches and bamboo sticks.
It’ll need some water, though not a lot as tree frogs are poor swimmers. Take a soup bowl and fill it with a few inches of water. Not too much water or it will drown
Frogs eat insects so buy from pet stores; crickets, mealworms and occasional pinkies. Do not catch insects from the wild because of pesticides and other diseases they may carry.
Note- be sure to look at the comments below as there are some great additional answer there regarding the care of tree frogs.

A moderately humid vivarium of live plants is generally quite adequate to house them, along with a varied diet of commercially available crickets, small moths, caterpillars, mealworms, flies, spiders and other insects. Be sure to provide a source of water for your tree frog or mist frequently to keep the skin moist. These pets are common in and around the Oklahoma and Missouri region, and are nocturnal like many other tree frogs.
