Tree frogs are arboreal, which means they spend most of their time in trees. In captivity, they don’t have access to trees but branches, sticks, vines, and plants will keep them happy. Vertical space is a must. Terrariums at least 18 inches in height<\/strong> will suffice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overall size (width, depth, and height) depends on the number of frogs you’re keeping. As for the setup, well, that’s what this post is for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll explain everything you need to set up a great tree frog enclosure; from terrariums sizes and brands to helpful tips for decorating, and everything in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basic Cage Setup for Tree Frogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Setting up a tree frog enclosure consists of creating climbing areas in a vertically oriented terrarium. Through the usage of branches or sticks, vines, and plants, a person can create the ideal habitat for any arboreal species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s important to remember, this guide won’t work for every type of tree frog. Each one is different, requiring different temperatures and humidity levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic build will get you started, but it’s up to you to learn the precise conditions needed to keep your pet treefrog happy and healthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be accomplished by reading care sheets. Find out the recommended temperature, humidity level, and whether or not your special lighting is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These factors will determine whether or not you need more equipment like automated misting systems, foggers, UVB lighting, a heating mat, etc. Use this guide as a base example on how to set up a treefrog terrarium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you can do anything, you need a terrarium. Chances are, you’ve already got one but if you don’t, I’ll point you in the right direction. As I already mentioned, you need a tall terrarium. That is, something taller than it is wide. As for the terrarium size, well that depends on the number of frogs you’re keeping and their overall size once they’re full-grown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
