Here are some tings you should consider.



-They are noturnal. That means you will see them sleeping the majority of the time. I have 3 wild caught adults and they only get up once every other night to hunt and they don't even hunt that long. An average of 30 minutes to 1 hour and then they go sit in the water dish for a while then go back to sleep. It's nothing like watching them on national geographic.



-They are very touchy and can get sick very easily. One of my redeyes empty its bladder and looked like it was having an asthma attack a few weeks ago just because I went in there to trim the plants and I was at least a foot away from it.



-You should keep the enviroment in optimal condition. If your temperture or humidity is off for a few hours that can be enough to make a frog sick.



-You should never handle them even if they are captive bred. Also, its very hard to find adult captive bred redeyes for sell.



-In my experience, its better to buy adult wild caught redeyes over captive bred froglets. The froglets are a lot harder to care for then the adults because they are not very good at catching their food. They get stressed out if you put to much food in their tank. They will die if you don't give them enough food. You have to make sure that they are eating, that means counting pinhead crickets and fruitflies, etc.
