    Hello all;
    was inspired by the previous white's tree frog post
    so i decided to start rearing tree frog.
    was not able to find a good arboreal tank, instead got a standard 2ft.




    items list as follows
    -2 packs of 5kg potting mix
    -misc plants from 'world farm' - bah soon pah rd
    -various wild flora around the neighbourhood
    -Driftwood
    -1 porcelain bathing/potty bowl
    -styrofoam background
    -acrylic plate with holes drilled as cover
    -Magnum PL 55W 10000k

    inhabitant
    -1 tree frog

    it was hiding at top left part of the tank


    scooped it out of its hiding place. displaying a pissed look


    placed it back into the tank


    one of the cricket fell into the potty......time for me to rescue it....for feeding froggy.


    Frog vs cricket face-off


    Feeding video uploaded here

    another escape attempt...it jumped from the bottom of the tank to the ledge

    Nice!!

    But did you take care of drainage of the soil? If not, do mist less to prevent the soil from becoming water logged... The plants will not do too well with water logged soils...

    And you did have a TIGHT and SECURED cover for the tank, right? The frogs are strong and good escape artists... They can squeeze through holes you will not expect them to squeeze through!...

    That's a beautiful setup! How do you prevent the frog from escaping?

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    Should add thick branches across as they love to site on them during the night time when the light is out.

    Smile Tree frog enclosure.

    Ha Ha ha Ha....

    Sama sama (same same in Malay)..

    Agree!! But then there are things that i don't understand.

    By the way, how much would it cost me if i want to set up one.

    Thinking of using my empty 2 ft x 16 " by 18" tank...

    Can advise?

    Guys, when discussing prices, please avoid direct price quotations. Altum Lover76, that's what I was referring to earlier too.

    Have fun setting up your vivarium.

    That's a very beautiful setup you got there. Do they croak at night like other frogs? Darn this is tempting!
