Food & Habitat for Green Tree Frogs

tsac May 21, 2004 10:19 PM

Can anyone help!!! I just rec'd 6 American green tree frogs in mail and I thought they were going to be tadpoles, but they were FULL grown tree frogs!!! I just wasn't prepared!

I have been to the local pet store and bought a few dozen tiny little crickets but I have 2 questions:

1. How many of those tiny little crickets should they get and how often?

2. I purchased them to have in my frog pond that i made in my backyard (I live in Cent. Florida), what do I need to do to prepare it for them so they remain safe???

Thanks for anyones advice!!!

If they are green tree frogs and you live in Flordida then you already have them in your area. And as their name says they live in trees so the won't stay in your pond. If you want frogs for your pond go with bull frogs, lepoaro frogs, green frogs and there are more you might get more answers on the frog forum.
