www.pollywog.co.uk: American Green Tree Frog (Hyla cinerea) Care Sheet


I would say that care sheet is pretty good.
Other than that, get some of that spagnum moss and mix it with whatever your using for substrait, keep him moist.

the loose moss that you get in bags can be injested easily and can cause an impaction. the best substrate is cooc fibre/eco earth with a layer of gravel or idealy hydrocena underneath to act as a drainage.

a viv that is 12x12x18 will be ok for a pair and will need a heat mat to keep the temps up. keep them with a humidity of above 50% and provide a waterdish that is no deeper than the frogs height at rest, also make sure they can get out, the exo terras are good as they have "steps" at one end.

provide them with a well gutloaded food source of crickets or hatchling hoppers and dust with a supplyment 3-4 feeds a week when young, and then slightly less as the mature.
