The Red-eyed Tree Frogs are represented by two groups of adults.
One group is captive bred and born while the other is wild
caught.
Both groups of adults are kept separate. We feel having both
groups
will provide enough genetic diversity to maintain a stable colony of
tree
frogs. Red-eyes are hardy frogs that benefit from moderate
humidity.
Daily misting will generally meet humidity requirements. Red-eyes
do well in ventilated enclosures with plenty of live plants on which
they
can rest and hunt. Overcrowding can be a problem so we endorse
keeping
no more than 2 adults per every ten gallons of enclosure space.
We
also recommend you never mix frog species or keep captive bred with
wild
caught of the same species. The benefits of keeping species
separate
far outweigh the problems often encountered when mixing them. As an
additional precaution: Ensure that ants are not present in your
home
(in or near the frog enclosure). If so, we recommend using a
non-aerosol ant bait outside of the frog enclosure to eliminate their
presence. Frogs may
succumb to
ant bite or sting if they are attacked by significant numbers of ants.
