I kept a couple Gray Treefrogs in my school classroom and my students LOVED watching them (especially at feeding time!) and listening to the male vocalize (often during a quiet worktime!). I only did a tiny bit of research beforehand and am glad that my setup wasn't all the different from yours. Whew! Anyway, they thrived and even burrowed down into the substrate for months during the winter. We thought that they had somehow escaped until they popped out a few months later refreshed and alive! Great episode!

@@mikehawk260 I thought they had escaped and it was a large enclosure so I just kept it as a terrarium (or so I thought). I watered the plants and that was it. I suppose their metabolism slowed down and they just didn't require calories. They got moisture through their skin and just appeared one day. Blew my mind. They did enjoy a bunch of crickets directly afterwards. They may have eaten some mealworms that escaped a food dish but I don't think so. Anyway, they're hardy creatures. They live in my yard in Western New York (I hear them all the time and see them on my deck) and survive the winters just fine.

I wonder if they are fruit-fly-proof now. For everyone keeping the smaller frogs (o. pumilio etc. that require small prey) the old exo-terra's are a nightmare! We are always tearing into the doors and putting finer mesh in them, trying creative solutions for the gap between the doors (see through poster holders work nicely, als molding your own seal with aquarium kit) and it never looks really great...that's why the full glass euro-styles are so much more popular over here: at least they are build escape-proof!)

It’s such a better home for her and I’m so glad you decided to keep her. Also she does get little green bits all around her periodically. Sometimes they go away and come back P.S. sponge absolutely adores any kind of coconut hide especially the ones without a bottom.

Some types of aquariums do, usually the larger ones that have sump filters, and those that use external canister filters can easily have a drain valve added to the tubing if there isn't one built into the filter itself. For smaller aquariums it isn't practical to have a hole in the bottom unless the glass is very well supported because it seriously weakens the structural integrity, and it's also a point where leakage is very likely to occur. The other issue is substrate or debris clogging the drain, it would be a real issue if you have a planted aquarium or simply just a sand bottom (which is better than gravel for a lot of fish anyway)

I found one of these lil guys hibernating in my AC unit but when we brought it back inside she woke up from the warmth. So we decided to let her stay inside for the night, and since she used more energy than she was supposed to we gave her a few crickets (from my green tree pet) and let her go in the morning. It was adorable!

I feel it's pretty far to say I've ravaged the internet to learn how to care for them, as they are my first pet herps. That said, I still watch/read any care guide I can find, as I want to be sure I'm giving my froglets the best care I can. I'm also considering whether I want to breed them eventually.

Oh hey, the species I use to work with/study is finally getting some attention. Now, which version do you have? 2n or 4n? Also, just gotta say, they are also very easy to grow from tadpoles, so if you are collecting your own, you only need 1 tadpole, change water with well shook aged water daily, clean up poos with a turkey baster. High quality algae wafers made for fish are sufficient. Bloat can be treated with a single boiled pea (outer skin broken off) if needed, though it is rare in this species. Wingless fruit flies (or gnats collected from outside if working with wild ones) for livery. And friendly reminder to never release a home grown amphibian back into the wild if you have captive bred amphibians in the household, captive bred animals often carry diseases that can cause local die offs. Not so sure about that high humidity thing though, probably varies with population. They aren't really found at especially high humidity in the wild where I studied them. Temperature... population I worked with was temperit, and liked roughly the same as a human with brumation at very cold temps and heavy breeding behavior if it gets on the hot side... regarding the cleaning crew... Greys are a bit more... variable in the extent that they will go to eat things than other tree based amphibians (I have seen them going through leaf litter), so... good luck with that.

It is important that parents know how these should be cared for so that children can be supervised. Parents are busy, and this is an excellent resource. Thanks so much! Also, it is a great research tool, for helping to pick out just the right pet. It's great to know about the handleability of each pet. I would love to watch more of these. Perhaps one with a complete setup and care guide for a beginning lizard type? Is there one that doesn't get to big? If we were to get one we wouldn't want to upgrade the tank, we would want to start out in a big enough one for it to grow into. We don't have a ton of space. One of the reasons I don't keep goldfish.

@@snakelizard2343 I didn’t want to include my response with what I wrote about the other issue! I absolutely adore tree frogs! I live in a sub tropical area of Australia and we have the most adorable green tree frogs that I see often at nighttime in my garden. Well, about a year ago after hanging up some washing outside, I was walking to go back inside when I saw something move out of the corner of my eye! I had this old plastic ice cream tub on the ground in my back garden, it was handy from storing stuff! Well, I just had some stones in it, but it was also full of water from the rain and I discovered, quite a large number of tadpoles! I didn’t know how long they had been there! But I reckon it had to have been at least a week or so, because the tadpoles were not that small. They weren’t big either, but they didn’t look like they had just come out of the frogspawn phase! They were amazing, I couldn’t stop watching them! I left them in that container for a while, until they got big enough that I figured they needed a bit more space. The only problem was it hadn’t rained for a while and I knew that tap water wasn’t supposed to be any good for them, so I decided to take a walk to my local canal with a large bucket, and took some water from there. It seemed to be fine! The other problem was that I also live in an area where we have a lot of Cane toads, which are invasive and they actually kill green tree frogs, as well as dogs, if a dog was to pick one up with its mouth. Cane toads have these glands on their back, just behind their eyes, and they will secrete a milky poison from there and all over their backs if they feel threatened. That poison has unfortunately killed a lot of pet dogs, cats too, although I get the feeling that cats seem to know not to mess with them, as I have 2 cats and one of them will pick anything up with his mouth, if it moves! He just likes to play with other living things! He rarely eats any sort of creatures! But he just looks at the cane toads for some reason, even the small ones. So, my problem was that I didn’t know if my tadpoles were green tree frogs or cane toads! People here go out of their way to kill any cane toads that they come across. I’m not built that way. I can’t kill anything. I just can’t bring myself to do it. Anyone I told about my tadpoles, told me to get rid of them! To just pour them and the water out on to the grass and just walk away! They were all convinced that I was raising and protecting cane toads tadpoles! Not that anyone actually came to my house to have a look at them! Anyway, I wasn’t about to do that. I couldn’t tell yet what they were going to be once they matured enough. So, I continued to look after them, I sometimes fed them lettuce and cut up cucumber, which they devoured! Then all of a sudden, a few of them started developing back legs! Which were completely useless at first! Then their cute little arms started appearing! And then……….. they started turning a beautiful bright green!! I had green tree frogs! I’m sure about 100 of them! Well, they still had their tails, but they started climbing out of their little home pond ie my big green bucket! I thought that they would stay while they still had their tails, but these little guys were determined, so I figured they must know when they are ready for the big bad world. But they were still so tiny! Only about the size of the tip of my little finger! They all seemed to grow and mature at different rates. Some of the tadpoles stayed so tiny for so long, even while some of the others were starting to develop legs! Then all of a sudden, it was like they had permission to start growing now! So, every day I had at least a couple, up to about 6-7 little froglets, that decided they were ready for the world! So, I moved my bucket and placed it in a part of my garden where it was surrounded by plants that the froglets could easily hide in, also, some of these plants collected little pools of water in the centre of them, like little swimming pools big enough for one froglet! I checked on them constantly of course! Until they had all left when they were ready. I can tell you that they all survived while they were with me. I was so happy that I could provide them with a safe place to start their lives, from frogspawn to tadpoles to froglets, until they decided that they wanted to leave! If any had decided that they wanted to stay, I would have given them an amazing home! But no! Of course not! Lol About a week after all of them had gone on their way, I was just looking at some of the plants in my garden, and I saw the tiniest little green tree frog! It had to be one of mine! It was only the size of the tip of my biggest finger (not thumb!) and it was sitting right inside the centre of a plant that was just the perfect size for this little frog to sit in! Honestly, it was the cutest thing I have ever seen! That was the last that I ever saw of them, at least that I am aware of. Generally, I only see fully grown adult green tree frogs and we have at least 3-4 that I know of, that seem to live around our house, the outside of it. One seems to spend its day sleeping inside a drain coming from the roof of the front of our house. I go for a walk every evening and often it is dark when I get home. Some nights I look up and see this little face peering down at me from the roof of the house, right at where the drain opening is! Anyway, I have just realised that I have been typing for quite a while! I am so sorry for writing you a book about my green tree frog tadpole experience! Enjoy having your tadpoles and froglets when they get to that point!

I actually have a cane toad who I captured in Florida as well as a Cuban tree frog captured in Florida (along with a gold tegu and green iguana I caught but I digress) and I absolutely love frogs and toads! I have 52 amphibians (46 of which are frogs and toads) and they are a joy to keep and are useful for scenting food for my pickier snakes like my sunbeam and hognose! I absolutely can’t wait for the little tree frog tadpoles to hatch! In terms of tree frogs I currently own: mossy tree frogs, red eyed tree frog, starry night feed frog, green tree frogs, grey tree frogs, Cuban tree frogs, a whites tree frog, South American bird poop frogs, harlequin tree frog and the tree frog tadpoles!

I love these frogs so much. When I was a kid they lived in the cracks on the edge of my grandma's swimming pool. You would think the chlorine would bother them but they seemed just fine. I see them often on the windows of my house at night hunting bugs, or hiding in my plants outside during the day. I see them outside so often I have no desire to keep one as a pet!

I love treefrogs! My first frog was a pair of greys I had to collect for my vert class. I was super lucky that I caught two and they both started calling. I ended up with both a Cope's and an Eastern by chance. So stoked. Of course I'm sure my professor thought I was nuts. They don't exactly vocalize on command, and two grey frogs in a cage just look like two grey frogs in a cage. That said, they lived with me for that semester and I fell in love. I tried raising up some tadpoles I found in a puddle, but they didn't make it long past metamorphosis. I'm guessing that's a tough stage and out of only 4, I'm glad they at least got to climb out of the water. I want to get some amphibians again eventually, but right now the apartment conditions really only favor reptiles. I can't wait to get a bigger place. Maybe a place that will let me put in cat-ways in the walls. There's a reptile rehab youtube channel (gonna have to look up the name again) that has a runway for their corn snake made out of hamster tubes that runs all around the ceiling of the building. Even though the tubes are see through the snake doesn't seem to mind as long as he can feel the sides.

We took in a Grey Treefrog too, much like you we don't usually advocate wild caught pets, but our little stumpy was attacked by a cat. His leg was broken, his tibia was sticking out and had gone necrotic before we stumbled across him. We had to amputate a portion of that leg ourselves, vets only offered to put him down. He healed completely from his procedure in 18 days and has since become a fat spoiled rotten Treefrog. He loves his dubias and regularly tries to eat my fingers in anticipation of his evening snack.

Well I’m looking into getting White tree frogs! But I think this video was helpful! I enjoyed watching the tank being set up!❤ And I’ve been doing tons of research!! Specifically on White tree frogs, and the cost to buy everything could be better, it will be my first time owning an amphibian, but I have no doubt that I can totally be able to take care of the white tree frogs. I’ve made an entire list of things I need for the Tank, as well as buying one, including prices, it’s certainly not going to be cheap! But I think it will be worth it! I want to start with a 90 gallon tank, it’s a 24x24 (width, and height is 36 inches.) I will add in some Golden Pothos, it’s actually my favorite plant to grow! And it was my first one! 😊 I also want to do a bio active environment! I watched your videos on isopods and Springtails!! It was very helpful!! I was gonna go with dwarf isopods! I hope that’s ok to put in White tree frogs habitat. And I only plan to get two froggos! I decided to get a frog out of the other lovely options, because I was too afraid to own a fish, or a snake, or a spider. And frogs don’t creep me out! They are cute!! Well snakes and Spiders are cute to! Don’t get me wrong. But my heart problems can better handle a frog if you get my drift!😊
