feeding ,caring ,heating
You need to determine what type of tree frog you have. They all have different care requirements depending on what part of the world they come from. All frogs require live food like crickets, and it is a good idea for all species to dust the crickets with calcium supplements once a week so the frog can remain healthy. Depending on the species, a tree frog may need humid conditions, or drier and may require higher temperatures than room temperature. All species must have access to clean water, changed daily. It is best to use water that has been standing overnight so the chlorine is removed or one can buy chlorine removers at the pet store that are used for tropical fish.
For the bottom of the cage, it is a good idea to use some kind of bark material, or soil that is specifically designed for amphibians, and cleaned of all parasites.
The most important thing is to find out what species you have, and try to recreate the conditions found in its native environment.

go to the pet shop and get…
1. a tank
2. a log
3. a metal top
4. a red lamp light
5. 10 large (grasshoppers or crickets)thats the food.
thats it! and you just put the crickets in there and for caring for it would worry about it just give it food and oh yeah u need a water bowl, that looks like a pool.

We have a yellow-toed treefrog and it is difficult to find the proper info on caring for them. You need to feed them live bugs like small crickets, worms, flies, etc. Do not put any kind of heat on them like heat rocks, strip lights, etc., ours turned black when the pet shop told us to use a strip light, the reason is he was getting too hot, room temperature is fine, just don't let air blow directly on them. They need plenty of moisture, like a small dish of water in the tank, but we have a frog terrarium from Wal-Mart with a cave, pond, and artificial plants. Finally, we figured out that ours just wasn't happy in the house, he never chirped, so we turned him loose over a year ago and he still comes to our back window and visits, sits on our swimming pool, lets us hold him, and chirps all the time. Hope this helps.

Jenna if I were you I’d try to take a photo of your tree frog and then go to Herpcenter.com and ask the experts there what kind of tree frog you have and how to care for it. Without a description or an image I can’t begin to tell you what to feed it.
Are you sure it’s too cool in your area to release it? It will probably fair much better in the wild than in captivity.
