Red eyed tree frog question

Basically a quick question for anyone who keeps these. Do they actually spend any time on the ground? Just in the future I would like to make a paludarium with them in it. I would like to have a large water area so it would need to be a frog species which always stays high up. I would provide plenty of solid horizontal surfaces for them above the water.

Yes they do tend to use all the viv i have found especially when hunting.

Cheers for that Gaz. I'll have another wee think about it then.

Thats ok. Red eyes do tend to use alot of height but they do go across the bottom to hunt sometimes and do tend to bath in the water source.

i have always found that they tend to stay on branches and leaves while hunting. they'l wait untill a cricket is within reach and dive on it mouth first.

Mine will go everywhere, if theres food to be had they will crawl around on theouth floor as well.
Lol i know what you mean about the mouth first thing, they have a bucket of a mouth
