Complete Care Guide for Amazon Milk Frogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In order to raise healthy Amazon milk frogs, you need to provide a habitat that reflects their natural environment. Because they’re this species is adapted to the climate of the Amazon rainforest, their enclosure should follow suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Proper up-keep of their enclosure is imperative. Because Amazon milk frogs are big, they produce a lot of waste. They’re messy and their droppings are acidic by nature. This means that over time, your pet’s droppings will raise the acidity level of their substrate which will eventually become harmful to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to this, regular cleaning is a must. Daily spot cleaning is encouraged and you’ll need to change their substrate (deep clean) from time to time. I’ll go into more detail about this in the substrate section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Habitat Setup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Remember, your habitat should reflect the Amazon rainforest because that’s the region of the world milkies come from. Because they’re arboreal (living in trees), a vertical style tank is recommended. Lots of branches<\/a>, plants, hiding areas, high humidity, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
